The Times interview

Interview0 Comments

Knightley says she has no problem posing topless as long as the pictures are not photoshopped in an interview with The Times of London. Knightley discusses a set of Patrick Demarchelier photos that she did for Interview magazine:

I’ve had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it’s paparazzi photographers or for film posters. That (shoot) was one of the ones where I said: ‘OK, I’m fine doing the topless shot so long as you don’t make them any bigger or retouch.’ Because it does feel important to say it really doesn’t matter what shape you are.

Tavis Smiley interview

Interview0 Comments

Knightley discusses current and upcoming projects, including Anna Karenina, in this interview for PBS. On being drawn to period pieces:

I think it’s the element of fantasy, actually. I find that really interesting. It’s a world that’s rules you don’t know, so the rules can be created, so the drama can always be created, and kind of almost freed within that. I quite like it as a kind of dramatic conceit. I find it an interesting way to draw myself in and to draw people in. I guess it’s something to do with that.
