I am a slow reader. I always loved words, which is a strange thing given that I couldn't actually read them

Keira Knightley

A bad love experience is no reason to fear a new love experience.

A man told me that for a woman, I was very opinionated. I said, 'for a man you're kind of ignorant'.

But you have to remember in life that there's a positive to every negative and a negative to every positive.

Whatever you are made of, be the best of that.

You cannot live your life to please others. The choice must be yours.

If I don't do this film. I'll be acting in corsets for the next 20 years.

I made a conscious decision to live my life the best way I could and that meant to publicise myself as little as possible.

I always feel like I'm the one with everything to prove.

I like watching films when I don't know anything about the people.

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.

I find it difficult to see the romance in digital.

Because it does feel important to say it really doesn't matter what shape you are.

My doctor was like, 'Any questions?' And I was like, 'Yes! When can I drink please?!' I just want a margarita.

In the movie, you're moving, you have personality, you don't have to be great looking.

You bring yourself to every role, it doesn't matter who it is, it doesn't matter if it's a mass murderer, you can bring something to it.

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.
