More quotes by Keira Knightley
Half 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 Knightley
I went from everyone saying, She-can't-act-she-can't-act-she-can't-act, to an Oscar nomination. So there was something quite sublime about that!
Keira Knightley
I like watching films when I don't know anything about the people.
Keira Knightley
It's a tricky one when you're playing somebody who is mad. There's often the big actor's question, if you're playing a part like that: do you take it to be an internalized thing, pull the audience in, or do you go full-out, and kind of present it as quite a shocking thing?
Keira Knightley
It's good to know that other people think differently, and that's what makes the characters interesting.
Keira Knightley
Well, 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 Knightley
I'm doing a film now with a lot of guys as well, so at the end of that I will be growing a beard.
Keira Knightley
The whole point for me is to change as much as possible. If I've done one movie, I've done that, move on.
Keira Knightley
I think it doesn't matter where you're from, we all need a bit of romance.
Keira Knightley
I find it difficult to see the romance in digital.
Keira Knightley
I made a conscious decision to live my life the best way I could and that meant to publicise myself as little as possible.
Keira Knightley
I totally agree. I hate knowing too much when I'm going to the cinema and watching as a viewer. I don't want to know that the actor has just gone through a divorce. I don't want to know that the person is an alcoholic. It just gets in the way of my pleasure of watching the character on the screen.
Keira Knightley
The celebrity thing's completely crazy. I think I just have to move away or give it up altogether. I couldn't have kids in the situation I'm in now. But I could just do something else. That's probably what's going to happen. I made a decision very recently that I want a life instead.
Keira Knightley
It'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 Knightley
You already feel unsure of yourself, and then you see your worst fears in print. It really knocked me - which is why, I think, I was working, working, working, because I was trying to run away from the fact that I thought I couldn't do it.
Keira Knightley
If I don't do this film. I'll be acting in corsets for the next 20 years.
Keira Knightley
I 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 Knightley
It's not everyday you get to do a pirate movie, you might as well go for it.
Keira Knightley
I think that there's absolutely no point trying to force your body to be anything than what it is. I think that when you see people who are really pushing themselves to terrifying lengths to achieve what is perceived as being beautiful today, then that's just terrifying, it's really terrifying.
Keira Knightley
I'm a tomboy beanpole? I can't use a computer, so maybe I'm a bit out of the loop. I don't know whether to be flattered or not flattered. The beanpole bit, is that good? Can you be a sexy beanpole?
