[On which actors inspired him] Definitely River Phoenix is somebody that I thought, "This guy is very cool." I wanted to be like him when I was a kid.

Some people say that you should go to all the parties, to the nightclubs, the Viper Room, and make contacts, and I look at them and say, `You don`t want to have contacts with those people.` Look at what happened to River Phoenix (who died in 1993 of a dru...

We all have our distinct things. Leaf [brother Joaquin Phoenix] was the family clown--very witty, very smart. Mom had to work a lot, so Rainbow [sister Rain Phoenix] was the mother and the older sister and trendsetter. Liberty [sister Liberty Phoenix] was...

[on how he came up with the idea of "The Terminator"] "I would see these images of a metallic death figure rising Phoenix-like out of fire, I woke up and grabbed a pencil and paper and started writing. When I originally got the idea for Terminator, I was ...
James Cameron
[On being producer of the HBO documentary Children of God: Lost and Found (2007), which follows the rise of the Children of God cult] River Phoenix wasn`t an inspiration, or anything, he was just some boy who got overexposed by the media. I`m not making t...

(On River Phoenix) I feel blessed to have worked with him and to have known him. He challenged me as an actress, he was always surprising and startlingly honest. He was an all to fleeting presence in my life, a beautiful young man. Who will always be in m...

(On River Phoenix) "The nicest memory I have of him is when we went down to his family`s property in Costa Rica, and we`d eat these mangoes for breakfast. River had them dripping all over him. When he ate, he ate with his hands. For me, he`ll always be th...

I think, you know...it just changes you (the drug overdose of River Phoenix), I know for me it was never an issue, about that lifestyle. I learned relationships aren`t very important, or worth it, I mean even River wasn`t worth my time. I`ve grown, I`m no...
Samantha Mathis
[On River Phoenix] I would love to see what kind of choices he would be making now if he was still around, some of the characters that he would have played. I mean, to me he was like a rock star, you know, he had it all: he had the looks, he had a great n...
Jim Sturgess
[On River Phoenix] You can`t blame Hollywood for what happened to River. Kids are doing drugs everywhere in the world. He had his own very personal problems I will never discuss with the press. They`re just way too personal. River had a self-destructive s...
Keanu Reeves
[On River Phoenix and My Own Private Idaho (1991)] We were doing I Love You to Death (1990), and we got the Idaho script. We were driving in a car on Santa Monica Boulevard, probably on the way to a club, and were talking really fast about the whole idea....
Keanu Reeves
I was friends with River Phoenix, you know, and I used to be painfully jealous of him, until a friend pointed out that him doing well doesn`t mean that you`re doing badly. And if he does badly, it doesn`t mean you`re doing better. It`s like that great Gor...

What, running and gunning for seven games? It doesn`t matter at this point. We played San Antonio well this year. We played well against Phoenix. We don`t care who we play at this point.
Brad Miller
We weren`t good enough in the fourth quarter. You have to play for 48 minutes against a team like Phoenix. They made shots off of our mistakes. We turned the ball over and you can`t do that.
Dirk Nowitzki
The main thing the Phoenix does is have an open-door afternoon program for teens to come and play music and do homework and skate and socialize, a place to be off the streets.
Jane Hamilton
People wonder if I`ll always be a part of this family and the answer is yes. My family has a lot of good energy going in one direction and because of it, we get a lot of things done. That`s why I`ll always spend a lot of time at Camp Phoenix.
River Phoenix
It was a gift. They`re really community heroes. And they`re all musicians and have a love of music and understand what the Phoenix nurtures.
Jane Hamilton
It reminds one of the Book of Job, where one calamity after another is visited on the church of Phoenix, and it`s a terrible tragedy.
Arthur H. Stainback
I`ve just been working on my game the whole summer to try to take us to the top. This has been a $100 million summer for me, so I`m very proud of that. I`m just looking forward to bringing the championship home right here in Phoenix.
Amare Stoudemire
I`m excited to start first here at Phoenix. It`s a great track and I have a lot of experience here. I`m looking forward to racing at night.
