meaningful done mosquitoes
I did my best work in The Mosquito Coast. I know it wasn't such a big hit, but for me it was more meaningful than anything else I'd ever done.
vegetarianism perfection vivisection
Vegetarianism is a link to perfection and peace.
phoenix
I would never, never do anything unless I believed in it.
song kids men
I would get songs sung to me, like 'Old Man River, 'or kids would call me Mississippi and things like that. At the time, I wished I had a name that blended in more with my surroundings. Now, though, I've really learned to love it. From fifteen, I really liked it. It felt appropriate. Before that, I don't think it quite fitted me. I had to grow into it .
way innocence projects
I project a definite innocence. A lot of that is just the way I grew up.
goal waiting actors
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.
character play type
I'd like to play every type of character, but only once. I like to expierence things.
stars thinking people
After Stand By Me came out, people were telling me, 'You're so good,' 'You're going to be a star,' and things like that. You can't think about it. If you take it the wrong way, you can really get high on yourself. People get so lost when that happens to them. They may think they have everything under control, but everything is really out of control. Their lives are totally in pieces.
moving spirit wells
You feel the spirit move you. I can be possessed really well.
animal voice opinion
Animals can't really voice their opinion. We feel as though we can be on of the spokespeople on their behalf.
climbing hands hiking
We are taught to consume. And that's what we do. But if we realized that there really is no reason to consume, that it's just a mind set, that it's just an addiction, then we wouldn't be out there stepping on people's hands climbing the corporate ladder of success.
kids names rivers
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.
memories childhood toys
What I have got from my childhood aren't toys, but memories. And happy memories are better than any toy.
girl nice special
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 mostly met nice girls-and that's what attracts me.
