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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - Keanu Reeves
There were no paranormal events that took place on the film that I know of. Thank God! - Keanu Reeves
You know what, I'd done an interview show when I was like 16 or 17. One of my first jobs. I did interviews for this television show in Toronto. - Keanu Reeves

I know actors who have had to turn down good roles because they just don't pay enough. It's hard. - Ian McKellen
