>> Stephen: WE'RE PACK WITH THE STAR OF MATRIX RESURRECTIONS
KEANU REEVES.
WHAT'S THE CRAZIEST THING YOU GOT TO-SLASH-HAD TO DO.
>> JUMP OFF A BUILDING.
>> Stephen: HOW BIG.
I'M GUESSING 46 STORIES.
>> Stephen: REALLY JUMP OFF THE BUILDING?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: IF SO MUCH OF THE MOVIE IS DIGITAL WHY DID THEY
MAKE YOU JUMP OFF A BUILDING?
>> BECAUSE IT'S THE MATRIX AND YOU USE NATURAL LIGHT AND YOU
WANT TO DO IT REAL.
THERE ARE WIRES.
CARRIE ANN AND I GRABBED HANDS AND JUMPED OFF A BUILDING.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HEIGHTS?
>> WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET HOLD AND YOU GET ATTRACTED TO
HEIGHTS AND WANT TO JUMP?
>> THAT IS A REASON TO SEEK HELP.
( LAUGHTER ) HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU HAVE TO
DO IT.
>> WE WANTED TO DO IT IN THE PERFECT LIGHT IN THE MORNING SO
AROUND 19 TO 20 TIMES.
>> Stephen: HOW DID CARRIE ANN THINK ABOUT IT?
>> SHE SPEAKS PREPARING MENTALLY FOR IT, AND I WAS DOING THAT,
TOO.
BY THE TIME YOU GET THERE, I MEAN, MY HEART RATE WAS A LITTLE
RAISED, BUT AFTER THE FIRST TIME, YOU CAN'T THINK OF THE
FEAR, YOU HAVE TO GET -- YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT, ABSORB IT,
AND THEN JUST BE THERE AND DO.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: BE THERE AND DO.
YEAH.
>> Stephen: AND THAT THE WHAT YOU DID.
>> WE DID.
AND IT WAS AWESOME!
CAN YOU IMAGINE JUST LEAPING OFF OF A BUILDING?
WITH WIRES?
>> Stephen: EVER BUNGEE JUMPED?
>> I HAVEN'T.
BECAUSE I'M SCARED OF THAT.
>> Stephen: SURE.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT 18 YEARS FROM THE LAST MOVIE
TO THIS MOVIE, NO OFFENSE, I DON'T MEAN TO OFFEND YOU, BUT
WE'RE THE SAME AGE.
HOW DOES YOUR BODY HANDLE THE KUNG FU 18 YEARS LATER?
>> I LOVE IT AND I THINK BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH, IT DOESN'T
MATTER.
THE QUESTION, RECOVERY, YOU HAVE TO RECOVER DIFFERENTLY.
>> Stephen: A LITTLE LONGER RECOVER TIME?
>> YEAH, YOU HAVE TO PAY A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION TO THAT.
OKAY, A LOT OF ATTENTION TO THAT.
( LAUGHTER ) AND I CAN'T DO WHAT I USED TO
BUT I CAN STILL DO WHAT I DO, AND, YOU KNOW, WITH EXPERIENCE
COMES EFFICIENCY, AND, SO, YOU'RE MORE EFFICIENT, BUT YOU
STILL, YOU KNOW -- BUT YOU WANT TO DANCE AND YOU WANT TO PLAY
AND YOU WANT TO SING, AND YOU WANT TO, LIKE --
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) YOU KNOW?
>> Stephen: I KNOW.
I 100% KNOW.
>> YOU KNOW?
>> Stephen: I DO.
YEAH.
SO WHATEVER, MAN.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I DIDN'T MEAN TO
BUM YOU OUT.
I'M JUST CURIOUS.
I APOLOGIZE.
>> I KNOW.
OKAY.
>> Stephen: NOW, ONE TO HAVE THE CHARACTERS, AND I WON'T SAY
WHO, ONE OF THE CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIE, FAIRLY EARLY ON SAYS
NOTHING COMFORTS ANXIETY LIKE A LITTLE NOSTALGIA, WHICH IS AN
INTERESTING SELF-REASONS TO PEOPLE BEING SO HAPPY TO SEE
THIS WORLD.
YOU KNOW, I THINK IT REALLY IS, LIKE, I WANT TO SEE HOW THIS
GETS EXPLORED AGAIN.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: THIS IS SUCH AN ANXIOUS PERIOD OF TIME.
>> IT IS.
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE IDEA NOSTALGIA
COMFORTS IN MOMENTS OF ANXIETY?
>> IT DOES.
I THINK IT CAN.
I GUESS EVEN BEING CALLED NOSTALGIA MEANS IT'S A POSITIVE
EXPERIENCE, RIGHT, BECAUSE OTHERWISE, IT WOULD BE A BAD
MEMORY.
>> Stephen: SURE, A FLASH WELBACK.>> A FLASHBACK.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT, YEAH, I THINK IT CAN BRING
COMFORT.
PART OF WHAT I FEEL THE FILM EXPLORES, TOO, IS WITH THAT
PASSAGE OF TIME, YES, YOU CAN BE NOSTALGIC BUT YOU'RE IN THE
PRESENT, WHEN YOU COME OUT OF TTHE REVERY, HOW DO I FEEL ABOUT
THAT TIME AND WHERE I AM NOW.
THAT CAN CAUSE ANXIETY, TOO.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: PEOPLE ADMIRE YOUR
WORLD VIEW AND HOW YOU LIVE YOUR DAY ON A DAILY BASIS.
( APPLAUSE ) I'M CURIOUS WHAT A -- HOW DOES
KEANU REEVES DEAL WITH ANXIETY?
( BREATHING... ) >> BREATHE.
YEAH, YOU GOT TO BREATHE.
>> Stephen: ACTIVATE THE VEGAS NERVE THERE?
>> THE VEGAS NERVE -- ( LAUGHTER )
YEAH, BREATHE, TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHY ARE YOU AFRAID, WHAT DOES
THAT MEAN, AND THEN TRY AND -- YEAH, TRY TO JUST BE AND LET NOT
WHAT YOU'RE AFRAID OF DEFINE THE PRESENT THAT YOU HOPE TO BE IN
WHEN YOU GO DO WHAT YOU'RE AFRAID OF.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: I'M ON BOARD.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> Stephen: I TOOK THE WHOLE RIDE.
I TOOK THE WHOLE RIDE ON THAT ONE.
HEY, THERE'S SO MANY -- >> OR NOT.
( LAUGHTER ) JUST BE AFRAID AND JUST DEAL,
HANG ON!
>> Stephen: JUST LEAN INTO IT.
LEAN INTO IT AND BITE IT'S HEAD OFF.
ANYWAY.
DID I SAY THAT?
>> Stephen: YOU CAN SAY BITE ITS HEAD OFF.
DID YOU SAY A BAD WORD?
>> NO.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: WELL, WE HAVE TO
TAKE ANOTHER BREAK.
STICK AROUND, WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE KEANU REEVES.
