why are the table and field names surrounded by single quotes?

I STFW and RTFM and I still can't figure out why this returns a 1064 
parse error:

SELECT * FROM 'my_table' WHERE ('field_1' LIKE '%$keyword%' OR 
'field_2' LIKE '%$keyword%' OR 'field_3' LIKE '%$keyword%') AND 
'status' = 'active';

Anyone? TIA!
