More quotes by Keanu Reeves
The inspiration really comes first from the character and the story. That vision of what the story is, and what the character is, the world that they inhabit and what the story wants to tell. That's really what inspires me.
Keanu Reeves
Our saving grace! Um, as a species [humans] we can be pretty warm and fuzzy. But maybe for this, it's the adaptability, or the heart and soul. We're not all that bad. I don't really know!
Keanu Reeves
I cried over beauty, I cried over pain, and the other time I cried because I felt nothing. I can't help it. I'm just a cliché of myself.
Keanu Reeves
Money buys you the freedom to live your life the way you want.
Keanu Reeves
I've had the opportunity to work with so many great directors. Different styles, as well, like Gus Van Sant. He just does the casting and the milieu and let's you do your thing, quietly. Bertolucci, who can talk to you about your internal world in quite a creative way or just say, 'Well, put your hand over here.'
Keanu Reeves
Mortality is very different when you're 20 to when you're 50.
Keanu Reeves
I had the classic 40 meltdown, I did. It's embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness.
Keanu Reeves
You have to change your life if you’re not happy, and wake up if things aren’t going the way you want.
Keanu Reeves
Letters are something from you. It's a different kind of intention than writing an e-mail.
Keanu Reeves
Life is good when you have a good sandwich.
Keanu Reeves
I loved the material when I first read it, and the experience of making the film was a great one. So when we came around to complete the trilogy, I just signed on board without even reading the scripts because the experience of the first film was so good.
Keanu Reeves
We are the sum of who we are. We pick certain things at certain moments that influenced us.
Keanu Reeves
But, you know, it's still a drag to get your picture taken when you're eating a sandwich. It's a downer.
Keanu Reeves
The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.
Keanu Reeves
Fame is drag. The paparazzi culture is more pervasive than it used to be. On the positive side, it’s nice not to have to worry about bills.
Keanu Reeves
Hallelujah! Amen! Christianity is so inherent in western story-telling, you can't really get around it. But it wasn't something that drew me to it more or less.
Keanu Reeves
I'm not a photographer, so I didn't get into F-stops or ND filters or background, foreground, cross-light, all that stuff. But I was interested in the camera and the lenses. That's the world that I'm moving in, in terms of acting and giving a performance.
Keanu Reeves
It's hard to act in the morning. The muse isn't even awake.
Keanu Reeves
The acting experience and the collaborating and creating the world, working on the piece, they're the same joys.
Keanu Reeves
I don't know if that's philosophy or if that's something else, but to me it [digital filming] has an emotional feeling , that this materiality, the loss of the materiality.
Keanu Reeves
