W cover
Knightley and Cumberbatch appears on one of seven covers of the February 2015 issue of W magazine.
Vanidades Ecuador cover
Knightley appears on the cover of a December 2014 issue of Vanidades Ecuador magazine.
Glamour UK cover
Knightley appears on the cover of the November issue of Glamour UK, and discusses her looks and turning 30.
I’m not actually worried about turning 30. Because, honestly, my early twenties were not much fun. Then after 25, things just got better and better. Maybe you stop caring as much about where you should be going and what other people think – which is all the shit that makes you very unhappy early on.
Elle UK cover
Knightley appears on the cover of the July 2014 issue of Elle UK magazine. She talks about how she is going to tell her future daughter to skip acting, her secret wedding dress, and meeting Karl Lagerfeld.
I didn’t know I was meeting him, and I was so jet-lagged I didn’t know what was going on. I was in jeans and had acne – you know the kind where nothing is going to cover it – so I put a hat on. I remember somebody making a [negative] comment about it and I just thought [whispers] ‘I’m wearing a hat because I’ve got acne.’
Glamour cover
Knightley appears on the cover of the July 2014 issue of Glamour magazine. The photograph is shot by Munro. In the magazine, Knightley talks about doing a romantic comedy.
With a feel-good film you are always risking going way too cheesy….But maybe I can have a little holiday where I’m not playing a character who is being destroyed.
Beach cover
Knightley appears on the cover of the June 2014 issue of Beach magazine. She talks about Joe Wright, Coco Chanel, and making peace with her career choice.
For a long time, I had trouble saying I was an actress, but today I can. I’m still just as stressed out when I start a film shoot, and I’m not happy with everything that I do—far from it. But with time and each new film, I continue to learn, unlearn and learn again, and therefore build who I am.
Flare cover
Knightley appears on the cover of the December 2012 issue of Flare magazine. She talks about Anna Karenina, playing Anna, and growing up in the public eye.
When I was very young, I was hounded by these hideous men. What they wanted was the picture of me falling out of the club. They weren’t going to get that out of me. No, I chose very, very deliberately not to, because I couldn’t bear the idea of giving in to them. It takes a stubbornness.
Allure cover
Knightley appears on the cover of the December 2012 issue of Allure magazine. She talks about when she’s getting married and nudity in acting roles.
I’m quite rigorous about what gets exposed. No bottom half! I don’t mind exposing my tits because they’re so small—people really aren’t that interested!
Vogue cover
Knightley appears on the October cover of Vogue. Knightley discusses her upcoming marriage and feminism.
I remember doing interviews, and people would ask, as if it was a joke, ‘So you mean you are a feminist?’ As though feminism couldn’t be discussed unless we were making fun of it. I don’t want to deny my femininity. But would I want to be a stay-at-home mother? No. On the other hand, you should be allowed to do that, as should men, without being sneered at.
Interview cover
Knightley appears on the cover of the April 2012 issue of Interview magazine. She talks about choosing roles and working with Steve Carrell in Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.
He has this amazing ability to be incredibly funny but have that pathos at the same time – sort of that crying-clown thing. The movie itself has comic moments, but it’s about the end of the world, so obviously it has an apocalyptic feel to it that’s not that comic, because everybody dies … Other than that, though, it’s hilarious.
Flaunt cover
Knightley appears on the cover of issue #115 of Flaunt magazine. She talks about playing in The Children’s Hour and what’s next for her.
[H]opefully, at the end of the year, I’m going to do a film with Joe Wright, who I did Pride and Prejudice and Atonement with, but given the financial climate, nothing is ever for certain, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
