I’ve got a lot of experience with anorexia – my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it. I know it’s not something to be taken lightly and I don’t.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYI’ve got a lot of experience with anorexia – my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it. I know it’s not something to be taken lightly and I don’t.
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 KNIGHTLEYWell, the thing about great fictional characters from literature, and the reason that they’re constantly turned into characters in movies, is that they completely speak to what makes people human.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYI always find it much easier when there’s one person whose vision you’re following, as opposed to many people.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYBe happy in your body. It’s the only one you’ve got, so you might as well like it.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYIt’s very rare to get a film script that has good dialogue. A lot of the time, you spend on film sets really fighting to find out how to say the words.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYI don’t have a problem with my body. I’m not just going to strip off all my clothing, but if the part calls for it and I don’t think there’s any way round, I’m absolutely fine.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYI don’t think that you can fake warmth. You can fake lust, jealousy, anger; those are all quite easy. But actual, genuine warmth? I don’t think you can fake it.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYIt’s a difficult thing when you try and make a film of a book that you really love. You have about two hours to tell the story, and it’s never going to be enough.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYI do think that acting is such an unpredictable job, and you’re away a lot. If you’re dating somebody outside the industry, it can be hard to understand that.
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 KNIGHTLEYIt’s not everyday you get to do a pirate movie, you might as well go for it.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYI see the world through my eyes. It’s sometimes a strange world.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYIt’s good to know that other people think differently, and that’s what makes the characters interesting.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYI wish I was Sienna Miller. When I talk to her, I hope a bit of her party personality will rub off on me, but it never does.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYI enjoy doing an action scene. I’m not a purist as far as films go. If you want to do sex, great. As long as you do it well.
