Envy is the last thing that my parents feel.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYEnvy is the last thing that my parents feel.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYNice is the worst word.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYI think women’s bodies are a battleground and photography is partly to blame. Our society is so photographic now, it becomes more difficult to see all of those different varieties of shape.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYI like watching films when I don’t know anything about the people.
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 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 KNIGHTLEYBeauty is everywhere. And my photography came naturally without any particular inspirations growing up.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYI see a pair of shoes I adore, and it doesn’t matter if they have them in my size. I buy them anyway.
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 KNIGHTLEYThe most important thing in playing any character is not judging.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYIt’s an interesting thing when you discover something about yourself. To go: ‘Wow, I’m not the person I thought I was. I’m in the middle of something and I can’t actually deal with it.’
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 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’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 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.
