I want to be true to the character and maintain some consistency and give the audience what they love while at the same time keeping things fresh and grow the character.

Once when we were fifteen, River (Phoenix) and I went out for this fancy dinner in Manhattan and I ordered soft-shell crabs. He left the restaurant and walked around on Park Avenue, crying.
