In simplicity there is truth.

Image
I would rather quit while I was ahead. There’s no need in overstaying your welcome.

Image
I'm really normal. I play football, go to the beach, drive. We have dogs. I can imagine people calling me a character, but I'm Joe Straight.
River Phoenix
Image
We need an extreme movement because what is happening to animals is so extreme. Some misinformed people claim that animal rights activists are terrorists, but these people are simply ignorant of who the real terrorists are - the companies and industries that torture literally billions of animals each year.

I've always felt somewhat out of place with other kids my own age, said River. I was constantly reminded by people's reaction to our names and our diet that we seemed weird to them.
River Phoenix
Image
When I was younger, I was worried about how others viewed me and if I was good enough. I realize now that you can't mold an image or try to be something that you are not. As far as being an actor is concerned, your work really speaks for itself.

Although I can't stop all cruelty to living creatures on the planet, I can be kinder to every living creature in my life.

When I was in first grade, everyone made fun of my name, of course. I think it's kind of a big name to hold up when you're nine years old. It seemed goofy. I used to tell people I wanted to change the world and they used to think, 'This kid's really weird'.

You feel the spirit move you. I can be possessed really well.
River Phoenix
Image
I’ve learned that if you can’t get it all together to accomplish this thing called peace, you do at least your part in your life, because that’s where you can truly make an immediate difference.
River Phoenix
Image
Life is multi-layered and there's no way I could do my life justice in one pat answer.
River Phoenix
Image
Music is a whole oasis in my head. The creation process is so personal and fulfilling.
River Phoenix
Image
It still strikes me as strange that anyone could have any moral objection to someone else's sexuality. It's like telling someone else how to clean their house.
River Phoenix
Image
Music is a hobby, because I'm not making any money out of it, but I put just as much conviction into that as I do into my acting.
River Phoenix
Image
I can’t on my own change the regime in South Africa or teach the Palestinians to learn to live with the Israelies, but I can start with me.

Image
We're all worth it, man. We're all worth millions of planets and stars and galaxies and universes.

Image
It's a great feeling to think that I can be a friend to so many people through my movies.

I sometimes lie, especially about personal things, because what does it matter? I am a kind of minute commodity. My name is no longer my own. I try to lie as much as I can when I’m interviewed. It’s reverse psychology. I figure if you lie, they’ll print the truth.
