“But there is something you can’t see in the piece, and it has to do with what happened right before we started our interview. I had asked Joaquin if he had ever seen the 1991 issue of Interview with his brother, River, and Keanu Reeves on our cover, when they had been in Gus Van Sant’s film, My Own Private Idaho. He hadn’t, and I said I’d show it to him when we were done. When we did finish I ended up having to answer some urgent phone calls. About a half hour later I ran into an assistant editor who said that Joaquin Phoenix was still here– and that he was waiting for something I’d promised to show him. We had talked for so long and about so many subjects that it had slipped my mind that I had said I’d show him that back issue. We hunted it down as quickly as we could. When I gave it to him though he didn’t really look at it. It was as though it was too important to do in front of someone else. Instead he rolled it up– clearly to look at later in private. This little episode really struck me. Five years ago it was obvious that the subject of his brother was too painful to touch. And now it was equally obvious that the healing had begun, that he wanted to see things that reminded him of his brother"
