I envy people who have the capacity to sit with another human being and find them endlessly interesting, I would rather watch TV. Of course this becomes eventually known to the other person. - Carrie Fischer
It can't hurt to go to the people you love, whose blood type courses through your veins and whose DNA, from a certain angle, contains many of the same markings as yours. You don't have to take their advice, but let them share their version of solutions to life's difficulties. Good or bad - it could be interesting. - Carrie Fischer
I've been there for a couple of people when they were dying; it didn't look like fun. But if I was gonna do it, I'd want someone like me around. And I will be there! - Carrie Fischer
Creative people don't behave very well generally. If you're looking for examples of good relationships in show business, you're gonna be depressed real fast. I don't have time for anything else right now but work and my daughter. She's my first priority.
I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead, the papers try to drag me off my pedestal.
One thing I hope I'll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.
People need motivation to do anything. I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation.
Some nights it was a melee, literally, where I'd be standing trying to defend myself for what I was doing. People would be screaming at me to do my old act, and getting actually violent and angry at me.
That's the trouble with being me. At this point, nobody gives a damn what my problem is. I could literally have a tumor on the side of my head and they'd be like, 'Yeah, big deal. I'd eat a tumor every morning for the kinda money you're pulling down.'
A very sucessful person, when you look at them, they have had a big, big, big dream for a lot longer than you. - Kevin Trudeau
Most people wanna leapfrog, they look at somebody who is outrageously successful and they want to say, "I want to get where they are!" Well, you're gonna have to do what they did! - Kevin Trudeau
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. - Keanu Reeves
Artists are losing the choice to use film. People have a love for it - the grain, how it feels, the texture. - 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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - Keanu Reeves
Letters are something from you. It's a different kind of intention than writing an e-mail. - 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. - Keanu Reeves
