Do you think he was chasing a ghost or something? Could have been. You never know with my dog. He's been seeing ghosts ever since he was born.

Okay, that's enough about ghosts. Is there any shopping in Savannah that you'd like to speak about? They've really got incredible antiques, and the art scene is very, very cool. There's SCAD, which is the Savannah College of Art and Design. So they have always got pieces by young up-and-coming artists on display throughout the downtown area. In fact, I bought a painting there. I saw a painting called The Horrible Dog that I really liked and decided to buy it the next day. It was just a freaky-looking hound. I did one of those things where I said, "Yeah, I'll wait until tomorrow." I showed up the next day, and it had the dreaded red dot on it. It had been purchased. I was, like, "You're kidding me. Who bought this?!" And the woman said, "Well, I believe it was Keanu Reeves," who was doing The Gift as well. He had come in that morning, just totally coincidentally, and bought it. So, of course, I was sad. I was bemoaning the fact that he had stolen this incredible painting, The Horrible Dog, right out from underneath me. But on the last day of shooting, wrapped up in my trailer with a little bow on it was The Horrible Dog. Just to give you some indication of what a decent fellow Mr. Reeves is.

Where can you find the spirit of the city? A cool area downtown is called City Market, right on the river. It used to be a bunch of warehouses, kind of cotton mills and stuff, which they essentially transformed into these little studios and galleries, shops, ­restaurants, some nightclubs. It's a big area. They have a great Sunday market that's mostly local vendors who have great little arts and crafts, things like that. River Street, that's another kind of thing. They have something called First Saturday, which is kind of like a bazaar of local people who sell different things. It's a great way to burn off a Saturday morning with a cup of coffee. And if you have a hangover, that's okay too.
