“I was at this club and it was my 16th birthday and you came in,” she told Reeves.

“You walked in and you grabbed my hand and you took me outside and you put me on your motorcycle and we drove at the warp speed of my life. We went and you took me on the ride of my life. And I was so free, I was such a free human being. And it was just this moment where I just remember loving life and being so happy.”

“I love what happens after someone says ‘action,’” said Reeves.

“We begin and we’re in the moment. We might have prepared a lot and we have our past and history and what we’re trying to do in the story we’re trying to tell, but that moment of ‘action’ or ‘let’s begin,’ it’s fun.”

Keanu wasn't done landing memorable quotes during the interview. One of them in particular was so good, that he walked off set once he perfectly delivered it.
