QUOTES BY KEANU REEVES

~ 

When I was a teenager it sounded fun - all the plotting and planning, the danger, the treasure. I also wanted to live in a whale. It'd be a safe place, all the pressure would be off." Hollywood heart-throb KEANU REEVES had an over-active imagination when he was younger.

On the Making of 'Constantine'

Quote by Keanu - Chicago Suntimes- Printable Portion 

Keanu Reeves views the film's spiritual themes as "sort of secular religiosity."

"I think that these motifs of seekers and messiahs, antiheroes and heroes, all of these aspects are journeys that we deal with in our day-to-day lives," he says. "They offer up stuff about where you come from, what you're fighting for, what you're striving for, what's against you, and coming into -- and I don't mean this in a facile way -- a kind of light."

But he still possesses a passion for acting.

"It's like painting, I would imagine," he says. "A good day on the set creating a work, a piece, a collaboration, an expression, is a hoot."

In another Constantine Interview Keanu says:

"In terms of the other roles, I hope ultimately - not only are they interesting - I think that those kinds of journeys, a hero journey, or Siddartha - these are all kind of seeking aspects of hopefully - that have something of value in terms of - to our lives - that we can take with us - and hopefully in the works that are entertaining and - these kinds of journeys that I think all of us - especially in western traditions - relate to. I think these motifs of seekers, messiahs, of anti-heroes, heroes - all of these aspects are journeys that I think deal with things that we deal with in our day-to-day in a way, and are entertaining.

"They offer up - coming from where do you come from, what are you fighting for . . . and coming into a kind of - I don't mean it in a facile way but into a kind of life. I think they're worthwhile, and if we can make them all kinds of stories, story-telling, that is always couched in this kind of engaging entertaining manner, whether it is a shadow play, a circle, a storyteller, our literature . . . the mediums that we communicate these things often times.”

About acting, he reminisces, “I really love it. it's my craft. When I was 15, I went up to my mother and said, is it okay if I'm an actor? She was like - whatever you want, dear. In three weeks I was enrolled in an acting class doing Uta Hagen's Respect For Acting. And acting itself? I think of it as kind of like - and I've heard Anthony Hopkins say this - you learn about doing it, and it's like painting, I would imagine. The craft of it, the skill of it, the way that you work the paint, the way that you can act. The more you do it, the more you know it, and for me, it's what I love. A good day on the set, creating the work, the piece, the collaboration, expression, is a hoot. I love it. I love it. And hopefully it will continue.”
