I went through voice coaching. I was absolutely terrified. I thought my knees were going to buckle, and the first couple of takes I sounded like a pubescent boy. I didn't realise I was going to have to do it live.

More quotes by 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 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.

In L.A., I'm twice the size - height and everything else - of most of the other actresses who are going for an audition.

When I was about 5 I think, I desperately wanted to be a pirate and have the hat and everything.
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 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
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
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
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
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
If I don't do this film. I'll be acting in corsets for the next 20 years.
Keira Knightley
You have to learn the rules to be able to know how to break them.
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
Empathy is the main thing, putting yourself in somebody else's shoes and trying not to judge.
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'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
I'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 Knightley
I 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 Knightley
I think it doesn't matter where you're from, we all need a bit of romance.
