you can tell he is very uncomfortable, he never holds eye contact, he mostly looks down, & occassionally laughs awkwardly, you notice he springs too life when the interviewer says 'we've run out of time'..we cant shut our celebs up nowadays, he was so modest, nowadays our celebs are so big headed, & live for the camera, but for phoenix the camera lived for him..he was beautiful inside and out, we need more people like him in the public eye.

I can't believe he's gone. How is it possible to feel such love and respect for someone who you've never met?

[DyingOfAnticipation]

Does anyone know who the person interviewing him is? Or what show it was aired on?

[erinbeene]

@Darlinqx92 No, it is said that he started experimenting drugs around the time he was filming "My Own Private Idaho." Which would be around 1991. I don't know many 17 year olds that are innocent, and I'm 17 myself, lol. He really is just shy. He stated several times during interviews that he feels insecure while doing them because he is such a private person. He made it clear he doesn't like discussing his personal life.

He is so innocent though, which just adds to his beauty :).

I've been such a big fan since I was around four years old. So weird that in a few years i'll be older than him.

[Darlinqx92]

A question :Was he already using drugs at that time? :/ Not sure if it's his shyness,insecureness or just the drugs that make him seem so....anemic.

I know he was innocent 17 years old,but still... :-(

What a beautiful,talented but still modest person he was..

So,anyone who knows? Thanks! <3

[beckyzander]

he's so perfect.

you can tell he's a little irritated, he reminds me of johnny depp in some ways...johnny is shy and doesn't like interviews much either, and their hair is similar. love u river R.I.P
