“It was River Phoenix who wanted his character to be gay, or to be in love with Keanu’s character. Originally the characters were both straight. River wanted there to be this affection, this love, and to have his character tell Keanu that he loved him. [smiles] Maybe he wanted to tell Keanu that…" — Gus Van Sant
“River made a difference each day of his life. I hope his death will move others to work for a healthier, more compassionate world, so that young people will not feel drawn to numb themselves against a culture too cruel to endure, but will, instead, be able to live with joy and peace and love.” — Zoe Weil [The Animals Agenda, 1994]
Dear River, Will love you forever and a day. 💫

“Stay afraid but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.”
— Carrie Fisher
não fui criada em águas rasas, e sempre dei mergulhos profundos
mas vou passar a noite velejando no azul esverdeado de teus venustos olhos
pedindo aos céus que desta vez eu não me afogue

“If I didn’t think I could be a part of a movement that could influence, and be a part of helping and change, if I couldn’t help that through what I’m doing, I wouldn’t do this. But I’m seeing that through this position -in this career, and where I have these magazine interviews- I can be an example, and I think that’s important. In all the interviews I do, I say something about being vegan. I don’t want to come off as if I’m a savior. I’m only a very small part of anything, but I think it’s important to be involved. I’m interested in meditation and finding spiritual fulfillment. But for me to just go off and devote my life to monkhood in the jungle would be ultimately abandoning the world, and the consciousness would be on a selfish level. I think I can do a lot more good for this planet if I am out there."
- River on an interview for Vegetarian Times, March 1988.
