Quoting River

"I am a collage. Music is in my wrists, in my fingers, in my soul. I feel very strongly about myself as a composer, more so than as a musical performer."

"In Florida, I started to sing with my brothers and sisters in talent shows, winning prize after prize- we thought we were going to be the next Jackson Five!"

"I don't want to sound like a hippie, but love is the guiding power of the Universe."

"I believe it's wrong to destroy our rain forests to raise cattle. We can get enough protein from wheat, so I'm a vegetarian. I support the rights of animals who don't have a voice to defend themselves, and I'm against the use of furs."

"I try to lie as much as I can when I'm being interviewed. It's reverse psychology. I figure if you lie, they'll print the truth, and when I tell the truth, they'll like."

"While I'm learning my lines, my CD player is up to the max! I just can't keep anything in my mind without listening to music. It's a real important part of my life."

"One thing I'd like to do when I have the money is to buy thosands of acres of Brazilian rain forest and make a national park, so no one can bulldoze it and put up a McDonald's. I guess people find security in a Big Mac, but that's our oxygen!"

"Not only do you love your fellow man, you love all living things."

"Hey, if you miss it, it was meant to be, right?"

"People just aren't at ease with their own sexuality. Sex is mating. Sex is how we're made."

"Let's assume I'm just a person and I have soul."

"Hey, let's hang together. Let's go eat artichokes."

"Let there be light in me."

"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. Speaking for myself, I had no second thoughts about playing that part."

"I like girls who are natural because I am natural in everything I do. If I meet a girl who is snobby and wants special treatment, she's not going to get it from me because she hasn't earned it. But, I've been basically lucky because I've met mostly nice girls--and that's what attracts me."

"Music is my main goal, but I'm not going to rush a record out. There are so many actors who have come out with albums these days. I don't want to do it because it's the thing to do. I want to wait until the time is right."

"I just always loved the names Helen or Ashley, I don't know, they seem familar to me, like I need to be with them..."

"I'd like to come back as a horse. A wild horse-free lifestyle, the romaing. Before horse races."

"Live on kiss fruit."

"Crazy motherfucker, crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube..."

"Hello! My name is River."

-Define "Best friend"

"Someone you can tell all your secrets to. For me it's a guy you enjoy being with, a guy you love and a guy you care about. Keanu is MY buddy, dude."

Keanu-I've always loved you, River. River is my best friend and I don't have many of them.

"That's really sweet, Keany."
