You want to play another kind of character in another genre, and it's been something I've been trying to do if I can in the career so far, and it's something I hope to continue because it's interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
Oftentimes, when we think of 3D, we think of things coming out of the screen, but actually, you've got this zero, this negative space, what they call the negative space, which is the scene, what's being filmed in the positive space of the audience. As you can have things come out, you can have all of this depth.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
On a good night, I get underwear, bras, and hotel-room keys thrown onstage... You start to think that you're Tom Jones.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
I do think there must be some kind of interaction between your living life and the life that goes on from here.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
I have a producing partner named Stephen Hamel, and we've been trying to generate material.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
The whole aspect of cinema and film festivals should be a moment to come together and celebrate art and humanity. It would be a shame if there was such a divide.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
I think the form, the Hollywood movie, I think the quality is obviously always going to be there and I think that the question of taste, there's always a question of taste.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
Basically it starts with four months of training, just basic stretching, kicking and punching. Then you come to the choreography and getting ready to put the dance together.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
It's the journey of self, I guess. You start with this kind of loner, outside guy, which a lot of people can relate to, and he goes out into the world.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
'Speed' and 'Point Break' were a lot of running and jumping, and then 'The Matrix Trilogy' had a lot of fights and wire work and green screen elements.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don't have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
I mean, if you didn't get it or if you didn't feel like you enjoyed it, sometimes that experience can change.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
When we talk about how movies used to be made, it was over 100 years of film, literal, physical film, with emulsion, that we would expose to light and we would get pictures.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
I think - I don't know, maybe it's nostalgia. But the choice, losing the choice to be able to use film is going to be - it's gone. It's going to be gone.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
I just felt that if I went into Speed 2, I just... wouldn't have come up out of the water.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
I've been really fortunate to be able to do different kinds of films in different scales, different genres, different kinds of roles, and that is important to me.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
And of course to work with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton, and work with a wonderful, beautiful script directed by Nancy Meyers, it was really for me a dream come true.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
I was always interested - I mean, it's kind of part of your job - I was always interested in the camera.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
I mean, I went to a Catholic boys' school for a year, but that was to play hockey. Religion class was quite contentious for me.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
I don't know the law, the kind of law of quantity and quality, but I think the opportunity of people being able to express themselves and to have the means of production is a great thing. It's also changing how we're telling stories.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
But I think we're also just talking about the literacy of the audience. The visual literacy of the audience. They've seen so many images now, especially here in the States. There's so much to look at, to watch. So the visual storytelling literacy is harder to impress.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
The truth is often terrifying, which I think is one of the motifs of Larry and Andrew's cinema. The cost of knowledge is an important theme. In the second and third films, they explore the consequences of Neo's choice to know the truth. It's a beautiful, beautiful story.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
I am waiting for the right story to tell. Just like 'Man of Tai Chi' just seemed to be the right story to tell. So I'm looking for that. Because I really love directing. I love developing the story. I love actors. I love the cinema of it, the way that you tell a story visually.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
It's always wonderful to get to know women, with the mystery and the joy and the depth. If you can make a woman laugh, you're seeing the most beautiful thing on God's Earth.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
How do I confront aging? With a wonder and a terror. Yeah, I'll say that. Wonder and terror.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
I'm a meathead, man. You've got smart people, and you've got dumb people. I just happen to be dumb.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
When I don't feel free and can't do what I want I just react. I go against it.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
How do people relate to movies now, when they're on portable devices or streaming them? It's not as much about going to the movies. That experience has changed.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
Energy can't be created or destroyed, and energy flows. It must be in a direction, with some kind of internal, emotive, spiritual direction. It must have some effect somewhere.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
Kissing someone is pretty intimate, actually very intimate, and your heart always kind of skips a beat before you do that.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
It's easy to become very self-critical when you're an actor. Then you get critiqued by the critics. Whether you agree with them or not, people are passing judgment on you.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
Sometimes when you make a film you can go away for three months and then come back and live your life. But this struck a much deeper chord. I don't have the ability yet to speak about it in an objective.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
People were saying that David Geffen and I had gotten married and it just blew me away. Not that they thought I was gay, but that they thought I could land a guy that hot.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
Here comes 40. I'm feeling my age and I've ordered the Ferrari. I'm going to get the whole mid-life crisis package.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
I'm a meathead. I can't help it, man. You've got smart people and you've got dumb people.
Quote by -Keanu Reeves
Eventually, it came to this place like, 'I'd like to direct, but I need to find the story to tell.' 'Man of Tai Chi' became the story to tell.
