Phoenix celebrated his 21st birthday in a typically (for him) offbeat manner: "I went into a bar, showed the guy my I.D. and said I wanted an herb tea. I celebrated with a chamomile." --From the New York Post, September 12, 1991.
Phoenix's first name comes from the river of life in Herman Hesse's novel, "Siddhartha" and middle name from the Beatles' song "Hey, Jude".
When the family left a missionary cult, they changed their last name to Phoenix to symbolize rebirth from the ashes.
