Critique of Pure
Monogamy
First off, I'd like to resolve the issue of my sexuality once and for all. The truth is, I'm absolutely bisexual! I've had sex with men and women for fifteen years now. I have a weakness for strong women-and for gentle boys. One figure I very much admire is Hamlet-he's a bisexual, sleepwalking through life but well aware of all events happening around him of which he makes ironic comments. I am like Hamlet.
Among real-life Hollywood stars, Brad Pitt could make me weak. And this one time I had sex with George Michael on the Sunset Strip... just once for fun. I don't think he'll mind me mentioning it now that he's out of the closet. Of the women, Angie Everhart comes to mind. I also find Sharon Stone terribly attractive. Have you seen Sharon in leather? Breathtaking! And Catherine Zeta-Jones.... Wow! I would even make a total turn for her to the opposite sex-without problems.
As for those persistent rumors that [Matrix co-star] Carrie-Ann Moss and I are a couple, most of this is just your usual Hollywood gossip. I like Carrie-Ann a lot, but it doesn't have much to do with love. We meet now and then-and we also have sex. How insensitive that sounds... like consuming fast food. But I am definitely attracted to Carrie-Ann, because she is a woman with a very strong personality.
Of course, another big star I've had sex with is Cameron Diaz, who's now appearing in the big screen version of the classic 1970s TV show CHARLIE'S ANGELS. We got it on when we were shooting Feeling Minnesota, a low-budget film that was sort of like Beckett meets Sam Shepard in Minnesota in the wintertime... with an element of romance. In the film, Cameron is supposed to marry my brother (played by Vince D'Onofrio), but we end up fucking in the bathroom during her wedding banquet. We had a number of practice "run throughs" in my trailer before shooting the scene-mostly just straight missionary stuff, but one or two anal jobs as well. She wanted to start something serious with me after that, but the girl is not my type. Too pale, too ethereal, too bony-assed.
Frankly, I prefer a more voluptuous girl like Cam's Charlie's Angels costar Drew Barrymore-even if she is looking a bit matronly these days. I first met Drew way back in 1986, working on a made-for-TV version of Babes in Toyland. Even at the age of 11, she had a knack for scoring the purest damn coke in town. She was a real hellcat, too. We haven't done it recently, but that's something you don't lose. I know from experience.
I'm less enamored of the third Angel, Lucy Liu from TV's Ally McBeal. Another of these skinny, squeaky-voiced chicks like McBeal star Calista Flockhart. And a gook into the bargain. I used to hang with Robert Downey Jr. though-you know, back in the day. Robert, if you're reading this, you need to get off that stupid show-and the drugs-once and for all. I know what it's like. I used to be into trying everything that was out there myself-poppers, crack, simply everything. But when River died, I took it as a last warning for me. Afterwards I never had anything to do with drugs.
Nowadays, the things I love most are playing bass, being amplified, and the free beer we get when we're on the road. There's nothing cooler than being on tour with a rock 'n roll band. Plus, every once in awhile you get some bras thrown on stage, which is really good. Keep throwing those bras.
Keanu Reeves was born in 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon, to Canadian parents. An internationally renowned star of stage and screen, he has appeared in more than 30 feature films, including Youngblood, Little Buddha, and Johnny Mnemonic. He also finds time to play bass in the folk-grunge group Dogstar. Their sophomore album, Happy Ending, was released in 2000 on Ultimatum Records.
CAST AWAY
You never really hear this talked about much, but spontaneous combustion? It exists! It's documented. A friend of mine is a researcher, and she was researching fire, and she got into spontaneous combustion. It happens. People don't explode, but they burn. From within. And sometimes they'll be in a wooden chair, and the chair won't burn, but there'll be nothing left of the person. Except sometimes the teeth. Or the heart. Sometimes I wish Tom Hanks would spontaneously combust.
MEN OF HONOR
This is the true story of the first African-American to reach the rank of Master Chief Diver in the U.S. Navy. This one is too unsure of itself to build the natural confidence that comes with most biopics, yet through George Tillman Jr's steady direction, doesn't buckle under completely. With a sharp eye for casting and locations, he molds the picture like an old-fashioned military drama. It's only too bad he's more than willing to sell his soul for predictable audience-pleasing moments.
THE FAMILY MAN
Some day I'd like to get married and have kids. So I know what Nick Cage is going through in this one, giving up the Hollywood lifestyle for life in Jersey with Tea Leoni and a few rugrats. But I think I'll probably live in a nicer house once I settle down.
DRACULA 2000
This must be the sequel to Bram Stoker's Dracula, in which Francis Coppola directed me getting it on with a still-young Winona Ryder. I turned it down, because ever since Bill & Ted there are no more sequels for me. That experience was enough. The same boring, warmed up story. Instead, I took an offer to play Hamlet on stage.
MEET THE PARENTS
I knew my father up until I was six. Then, uh, I saw him occasionally when I would go to Hawaii on holidays. The last time I saw him was when I was 13. It was at night. We were in Kauai. I remember him speaking about the stars. Something about how the world is a box. I had no clue what he was talking about. "No, Dad, the earth is round. It's not a rectangle, man." Actually, he didn't say that. But I remember him speaking about the stars. I think a lot of who I am is a reaction against his actions.
VERTICAL LIMIT
I have a 1996 Carrera Four black-on-black Porsche. It's the closest car I can get to a motorcycle. One time, I got a speeding ticket when I took a trip to Santa Fe and went to traffic school. That said, I doubt very much that Scott Glenn and Chris O'Donnell could climb Mt. Everest.
BEING JOHN MALKOVICH
Bernardo Bertolucci once said of me: "Keanu Reeves has lived each year of his life twice." So John Malkovich can kiss my ass.
TAXI-2
I don't know much about this one, but I have seen Luc Besson's The Fifth Element. I thought it was terrible, but pleasant. None of the technology looked like it worked: the gun didn't work, the monsters didn't work, his T-shirt didn't work-it was too Gaultier, I think. And the story! There were images, but I thought it was just too much. Guide to the Ratings: "Not necessarily a film one can be proud of as an actor" "Except for Jackie Chan no star wants to break a leg or neck voluntarily." "Most actors become, once they make a career, big assholes. Perhaps I am already one." "In 10th grade I got to play Mercutio in English class and I enjoyed it, especially when people would laugh."
