"It was a great film, but I had nothing to do with it. At that time in my life, I was not responsible enough for my craft to feel as though I could represent it and feel comfortable - and I was very insecure. I mean, at that time I was going through puberty and I was hurting really bad. When I watch it, it's one of the true performances for anyone of that age, or any age, for that matter. Yeah, I liked it. I thought it was very honest." ~River talking about Stand By Me (Sept. 1991)
