"you can't stop the love — and the rock'n'roll"
““How come no one ever talks about how great River Phoenix was how he was not homophobic or a racist and love everyone. He cared about animals by becoming vegan, didn’t take life for granted.

For example, I would like to see more blacks in leading men’s roles, to project a more realistic picture of who we are as a people.”
