INTERVIEW: Kiera Knightley

Keira Knightley is in the December 2007 issue of Elle Magazine.

INTERVIEW:
On tabloids: “What I hate is that they shove in your face: this is what you want to be. And you think, fuck that. I don’t want it. Stop telling me I want to look like her. Stop telling me I want that life. I don’t.”

On being moody: “I’m a moody bastard. Actually, I’ve been banned from reading newspapers because the way they’re written angers me so much. If I want an opinion, I’ll read the opinion part of the newspaper. I do not want it when I’m trying to get the facts. I get incredibly angry. It really fucks me off. See, I have to calm down about it.”

On her sex scene in “Atonement”: “There was no knob-touching, for real. But it certainly looked like that.”

On the word cute: “I hate cute, I’ve always hated cutesy. My mom used to ban the word cute. Absolutely banned.”

On romantic comedies: “I’m a total romantic- I love romantic films. But I don’t like being raped by sugar.”

On phones: “I hate them. It rings, and then I realize that I don’t want to talk to anyone. So I always press ignore.”

On being sexual: “Oh, my god. I don’t think I’m aware of it now! No… I’m lying. I don’t know why I said that. No, I’m not lying, actually. I’ll just have an argument with myself!”
