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.

More quotes by Keira Knightley
I find it quite difficult on studio films because there are so many different executives and things like that that you have to go through, so very often getting that definitive opinion is actually quite difficult.
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.

You live with a writer [a mother], and you grow up with their words, their kind of fantasies, and I'd pretty much seen every single one of her plays, and been in a lot of rehearsal rooms, so it felt very natural and easy. It was lovely to get an opportunity to do that professionally as well.
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 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
I'm ... incredibly open with my mates. Or even people I just meet.
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?

My mum says that I was born 45, and I do remember at six thinking that I should be earning my own living.

You have to learn the rules to be able to know how to break them.

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 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 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 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
If I don't do this film. I'll be acting in corsets for the next 20 years.
Keira Knightley
I think it doesn't matter where you're from, we all need a bit of romance.
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 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.
Keira Knightley
Empathy is the main thing, putting yourself in somebody else's shoes and trying not to judge.
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 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
