“I’m at that stage in life where I stay out of discussions. Even if you say 1+1=5, you’re right — have fun.”

Mary J Blige was right: “No more drama,” please.

Peace and quiet are seriously underrated. I love nothing more than digging through Keanu Reeves conversations to tap into my inner Yoda. It’s not easy as Keanu doesn’t say a hell of a lot. You have to really dig.

When you do, you find the weirdest remarks. You find many ellipses in the transcripts of his conversations. You find periods of silence in his interviews. You discover questions he simply can’t answer and doesn’t know why. This is my all-time favorite quote of his:

I’m at that stage in life where I stay out of discussions. Even if you say 1+1=5, you’re right — have fun.

The Keanu attitude applied to life

The shy introverted approach became popular thanks to Keanu. For every loud person screaming about how good they are to an audience of one, quieter voices began to get the spotlight. Keanu prioritizes his tranquility using these philosophies.
