More quotes by River Phoenix
I wouldn't eat a hamburger for 40,000 dollars.
River Phoenix
We're all worth it, man. We're all worth millions of planets and stars and galaxies and universes.
River Phoenix
Although I can't stop all cruelty to living creatures on the planet, I can be kinder to every living creature in my life.
River Phoenix
Run to the rescue with love/and peace will follow
River Phoenix
What I have got from my childhood aren't toys, but memories. And happy memories are better than any toy.
River Phoenix
Music is a whole oasis in my head. The creation process is so personal and fulfilling.
River Phoenix
It's a great feeling to think that I can be a friend to so many people through my movies.
River Phoenix
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
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
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.
River Phoenix
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.
River Phoenix
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'.
River Phoenix
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
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
I feel that there are great minds up there who would like to see what I can do with an Oscar nomination. I guess many people would change after a nomination in the way they see things. In my case it's really irrelevant in terms of what I do. Still, it was an incredible experience which I will put in my memories, like everything else.
River Phoenix
I would rather quit while I was ahead. There’s no need in overstaying your welcome.
River Phoenix
You feel the spirit move you. I can be possessed really well.
River Phoenix
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.
River Phoenix
Sometimes I wish I wasn't as conscious as I am. It would be so much easier.
River Phoenix
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.
