Citat
"I was a curious kid when I was younger. I wouldn't be satisfied unless I had experienced everything I had a question about. I always wondered what it would feel like if I cut myself with a razor blade. So I did it. When I was eleven, I realized this pain stuff isn't the way to go." - River Phoenix, 1986.
Stand By Me Citat
"It's like God gave you somethin', man—all those stories that you
can make up—and he said: This is what we got for you kid, try not to lose it.
But kids lose everything unless there's someone there to
look out for them and if your parents are too fucked up to do it, then maybe I should."
- Chris Chambers, Stand By Me

River - That man's a prick!
Lili - He was doing his job
River - Bullshit! Just like a second liutenant, you give him a little power
and they roll in it like dogs and shit, makes them feel like wolves instead
of the stupid little fucking lapdog that he is!

Citat
"I would get songs sung to me, like 'Old Man River,
or kids would call me Mississippi and things like that. At the time,
I wished I had a name that blended in more with my surroundings.
Now, though, I've really learned to love it. From fifteen, I really
liked it. It felt appropriate. Before that, I don't think it quite fitted
me. I had to grow into it". - River Phoenix, om sitt namn.

Citat
"I want kids, a family of my own. I'd like to give them the
first eight years of their lives in the country. Then I'd want
them educated, which I wasn't formally, although I had a
tutor once when I was twelve. At times I miss a formal
education, but at others I thank God for everything else
I have now. What I have got from my childhood aren't toys,
but memories. And happy memories are better than any toy."
