"I've heard stuff about how the night River died he was partying and all that--it's so untrue. That night we were together. He was just playing his guitar. He wanted to show me a new song. And... I wanted to go out and see Flea play, because I'd never seen him play before. River wanted to go home, just hang out, play guitar. I was the one who wanted to go out and he was just making sure to take care of me." ~Joaquin Phoenix (his brother)
