KEIRA KNIGHTLEYI’ve always gravitated towards people who are extreme. Whether its drugs, or kicking down doors. Normally, the people in my life had to escape to get back.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYI wasn’t allowed to do commercials. I wasn’t allowed to do TV series. I wasn’t allowed to do soaps or basically anything that would mean I missed too much school.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYBeauty is everywhere. And my photography came naturally without any particular inspirations growing up.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYThe whole point for me is to change as much as possible. If I’ve done one movie, I’ve done that, move on.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYIf I don’t do this film. I’ll be acting in corsets for the next 20 years.

KEIRA KNIGHTLEYNice is the worst word.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYIn L.A., I’m twice the size – height and everything else – of most of the other actresses who are going for an audition.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYHalf of my mum’s family is Welsh. I remember when I was a kid she used to read to me, and witches and wizards in books always had a Welsh accent, so I guess I took it from that really.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYA lot of times in cinema today the women are overly sentimental, so I constantly try to do the opposite. I like strident women.
