More quotes by Keira Knightley
It's good to know that other people think differently, and that's what makes the characters interesting.
Keira Knightley
I don't quite understand what Tolstoy's actual personal view of Anna is - whether he likes her or hates her, whether she's the heroine or the antiheroine.
Keira Knightley
I think quite often when you have a hell of a lot more money and time, as you very much do on a big studio film, you don't necessarily have to make the decisions right there. You can always goback and reshoot it.
Keira Knightley
Some people say Dylan Thomas mischievous, he's a child, and other people say he's quite demonic. I don't think we should dictate about him, if that's your view of him, that's wonderful, but it's great to know that other people think differently.
Keira Knightley
All through my life what I've loved doing is watching movies. I love the escapism of film, I love stories. So it is incredible to be able to be in them as much as I am, to see them from the first stitch in a costume to the end product.
Keira Knightley
I always find it much easier when there's one person whose vision you're following, as opposed to many people.
Keira Knightley
I love costume dramas, I love performing in them, because in a funny kind of way, you feel more free. You know about the period, you can read the books, you can see the paintings, but you've never actually going to know what it was like. You can kind of stretch those boundaries a bit.
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
My mum says that I was born 45, and I do remember at six thinking that I should be earning my own living.
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
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
I cook. I go to farmers markets in London and cook really good sort of organic foods.
Keira Knightley
You have to learn the rules to be able to know how to break them.
Keira Knightley
Nice is the worst word.
Keira Knightley
If I don't do this film. I'll be acting in corsets for the next 20 years.
Keira Knightley
It's obvious to say you can't please everybody and there are always going to be people who are going to say, I just don't like you. There's nothing I can do about that. I'm aware, probably much more aware than my harshest critic, of what my own problems are with my acting ability. I'm very, very critical of myself, and I don't ever want to not be.
Keira Knightley
Bigger films are more difficult because the number of people is so huge.
Keira Knightley
When I was about 5 I think, I desperately wanted to be a pirate and have the hat and everything.
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
[The press] said to me yesterday 'How does it feel to be called anorexic?' and I had no idea that I was. I'm not saying there aren't people in the film industry that suffer from it, because I am sure that there are. But I'm quite sure I don't have it.
