PHOENIX BUILDS HOME RECORDING STUDIO

Hollywood star JOAQUIN PHOENIX is so serious about pursuing a career as a rapper, he's had a high-tech recording studio installed in his house.The Walk The Line Oscar winner shocked fans last year (08) when he announced his plans to step away from the cameras and pick up a microphone.
Director James Gray, who worked with Phoenix on his latest film Two Lovers, insists Phoenix is doing everything possible to ensure he gets the best shot at his new music career, and has been laying down tracks in the comfort of his own home studio.
Gray says, "If he's not serious about it, then he really went to ridiculous lengths."
Phoenix admits he has no desire to return to the big screen anytime soon - because he wants to focus on his new musical direction.
He reveals, "I'm not one of those people, like, when I break up with my girlfriend, I don't ever see her again. I see her as friends, but do I ever think about getting back together? No, when I do something, I do it. So I have no intention (to return to acting)."
