 Keira Knightley Quotation"The problem for me was that by being in the film the magic was broken. I loved the first Star Wars film and my mum was really into it too, that's why I took the part. But the Force wasn't there when we were filming it, and they didn't have real light sabres, which annoyed me." (about wearing a corset on Pirates of the Caribbean) "I had a Scarlet O'Hara thing, she gets her waist down to 18 and a half inches - so I thought I would try that. For 5 minutes it's fantastic - you have this tiny waist and fantastic cleavage, but oxygen deprivation is a big problem!" (About kissing Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean) There were these teenaged girls off-cam, and they were ready to kill me because I kissed Orlando Bloom! "I feel less blonde now and, er, smarter!" "There's no point having an 18th birthday in America." "I've always been a snob about qualifications." (on BILB) "I thought there would be doubles - stunt doubles - and I would just run in for the close-ups, but unfortunately they didn't have the money for that." "Apparently on the Internet I'm a sexy beanpole, tomboy beanpole." (after being called the new Hayley Mills) "That was cruel! Nothing against Hayley Mills, but I'm trying to be cool here. I'm trying to be edgy." "Do you know that on all the sets I've been on, nobody has ever made a pass at me?" (on shoes) "I see a pair of shoes I adore, and it doesn't matter if they have them in my size. I buy them anyway." (on The View) "I met Barbara Walters backstage and didn't know who she was. She's an American phenomenon, I was told later. I'm just sooo English." (at a photo shoot) "I'm a hooker in these pictures, and I must be a high priced one because I'm staying at the Ritz, which is good." "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?" "Katharine Hepburn and Vivien Leigh are my heroes. Not because of their ability, but because of their perseverance." "When in doubt, faint." "We had kind of done all our wedding and we felt like the stars of the show, then sudden you've got all these other people with storylines and you think: excuse me, I know you're Alan Rickman but get out of my film, please, thank you." I know for a fact the work is going to dry up, and people will get bored of me. That's not bitterness, just the truth. (On her conception) I was a bet. My mum was desperate for another child, and my dad told her that the only way they could afford to have one was if she sold a play. So Mum wrote When I Was a Girl, I Used to Scream and Shout. I don't think I can call myself an actress yet. I just don't think my skill level is that high. I hope that with every job it gets better. But until I'm good, I can say I'm trying to be an actor, but I don't think I've completely made it. As a moviegoer and a woman, I want to see that, so it's great to get to play parts like that. But Guinevere is a terrifying creature. If I saw a battle, I'd run in the other direction. I'm not strong in that way at all. But I'm certainly someone who has always known what I wanted and tried to get it. In this business, fame lasts for a second. You can be blown up and be blown down. People keep losing interest in faces because new ones come along every single second. I'm one at the moment. Tomorrow I won't be. That's cool. I'm not saying that when it does end, I'll be like, 'Yay! It's ending.' But I'll move on and do something else because that's what has to be done. It's about survival. If you're sad about it, then you're in the wrong job. (On actresses living in Hollywood) I take my hat off to actresses there, particularly the young ones, because the emphasis is on trying to find perfection. But I think it's the imperfections in people that make them perfect. I don't find perfect faces very interesting. Acting requires me to be very observant, which means being able to sit in cafes for hours and watch 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'm a bit of a tomboy so the action stuff was fantastic." It's also strange when people recognise you in the street and they know you but you don't know them. It's a little weird, but nothing to complain about. I'd wanted to get stuck into the action on Pirates of the Caribbean and I asked Jerry if I could have a sword fight in that, and he more than made up for it in King Arthur by giving me axe fights, knife fights and all the rest of it. I absolutely loved it. It was like being 11 years old and in the playground again. It was part of the job. There's no point in being embarrassed about it because that is the name of the game. It was just another day at the office. A very nice day at the office. [On the love scene with Clive Owen in 'King Arthur'] I don't think about nutrition. The very thought of a diet makes me want chips and ice cream. And I just hate going to the gym. I cannot stand it. The fact that we haven't focused on the love triangle between Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere was actually one of the things that made me want to do the film. It's interesting to tell it in a completely new way. Movie Title: Doctor Zhivago (2002) as Lara: Lara : I was hoping you wouldn't remember me. I don't think I made a good impression upon you before. Yuri : You made an impression. Lara : Listen, you could turn around, walk down the stairs, and go home. Yuri : No, I can't. Lara : No, I don't want you to. Movie Title: Bend It Like Beckham (2002) as Jules: Jules : Me and Jess were fighting because we both fancy our coach... Joe. Paula : [pause] Joe, a man, Joe? Jules : [exasperated] Yeah, as in male, Joe! Joe, our coach, Joe, man, Joe! Jules : Mother, just because I wear trackies and play sports DOES NOT MAKE ME A LESBIAN! Movie Title: After the Hole (2001) as Frankie: Mike : And then there's all those exciting exams to look forward to. Frankie : Way to look on the positive side. Mike : No, no, no I've got a hard-on for these exams, they're great. Geoff : You've got a hard-on for everything. Mike : Not for you, man. Frankie : What's the time now? Mike : Same as when you asked two minutes ago. Frankie : Well it can't be the same time if two minutes have passed, can it. Geoff : It's three thirty-two, then. Frankie : I hate beaches. All that sand up your crack and nowhere to pee apart from the ocean. Frankie : But why? I mean why would he do this to us? We're his friends! Mike : Are we? Is he really your friend, Frankie? I know he's not mine. Think about it- I don't know a thing about Martyn. Movie Title: Oliver Twist (1999) as Rose: Mrs. Bedwin : Giles. Brittles is ill. Giles : No he's not mam. He's always like this. Mrs. Bedwin : Brittles is ill and we had to call a doctor out. Rose : Oh no! Mrs. Bedwin : Um, we have to hide Oliver! Giles : No. You don't have to hide him mam. The boy's in my room. The master hasn't been in my room since the turn of the century. Brittles : But there's a boy in your room now Mr. Giles. [A loud crash is heard off camera] Brittles : . Ow! Movie Title: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) as Elizabeth / Elizabeth Swann: Elizabeth : That's it, then? That's the secret, grand adventure of the infamous Jack Sparrow. You spent three days lying on a beach drinking rum. Jack Sparrow : Welcome to the Caribbean, luv. Elizabeth : Captain Barbossa, I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal. Barbossa : There be a lot of long words in there, miss. We're naught but humble pirates. What is it that you want? Elizabeth : I want you to leave and never come back. [crew laughs] Barbossa : I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means "no." Elizabeth : This is the fastest ship in the Caribbean. Anamaria : You can tell them that after they've caught us. [Elizabeth is being laced into a corset] Governor Swann : Elizabeth, how's it coming? Elizabeth : It's difficult to say. Governor Swann : I'm told it's the latest fashion in London. Elizabeth : Well, women in London must have learned not to breathe. Jacoby : I'm gonna teach you the meaning of pain. Elizabeth : You like pain? [hits pirate in the head with a pole] Elizabeth : Try wearing a corset. Elizabeth : You're despicable. Jack Sparrow : Sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, you saved mine. We're square. [to Elizabeth] Jack Sparrow : Where's the medallion? Elizabeth : Wretch. [attempts to slap him] Jack Sparrow : [grabs her wrist] Ah, where is dear William? Elizabeth : Will! Will Turner : Elizabeth! Jack Sparrow : Monkey! Elizabeth : Will, how many times must I ask you to call me Elizabeth? Will Turner : At least once more, Miss Swann, as always. Elizabeth : I hardly believe in ghost stories anymore Captain Barbossa. Norrington : You forget your place, Turner. Will Turner : It's right here. Between you and Jack. Elizabeth : As is mine. Governor Swann : Elizabeth. Lower your weapons. For goodness sake, put them down. Norrington : So, this is where your heart truly lies, then? Elizabeth : It is. [Elizabeth in rowing boat heading toward shore] Elizabeth : Bloody Pirates. [back aboard the Dauntless, Ragetti sees the Pearl sailing away] Ragetti : Is it supposed to be doing that? Pintel : They're stealing our ship. Ragetti : Bloody Pirates! Elizabeth : Whose side is Jack on? Will Turner : At the moment? Elizabeth : I had a dream about you last night. Will Turner : About me? Governor Swann : Elizabeth, is that entirely proper for you to c... Elizabeth : About the day we met. Do you remember? Elizabeth : I must tell him. The pirates, they cannot be killed. Lt. Gillette : Don't worry, miss, he's already informed of that. A little mermaid flopped up on deck and told him the whole story. Jack Sparrow : No. Not good. Stop. Not good. What are you doing? You've burned all the food, the shade, the RUM. Elizabeth : Yes, the rum is gone. Jack Sparrow : Why is the rum gone? Elizabeth : One, because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two, that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire royal navy is out looking for me; do you really think that there is EVEN the slightest chance that they won't see it? Jack Sparrow : But why is the rum gone? Jack Sparrow : That's the second time I've had to watch that man sail away with my ship. Elizabeth : But you were marooned on this island before, weren't you? So we can escape in the same way you did then. Jack Sparrow : To what point and purpose, young missy? The Black Pearl is gone and unless you have a rudder and a lot of sails hidden in that bodice - unlikely - young Mr. Turner will be dead long before you can reach him. Elizabeth : But you're Captain Jack Sparrow. You vanished from under the eyes of seven agents of the East India Company. You sacked Nassau Port without even firing a shot. Are you the pirate I've read about or not? How did you escape last time? [Protesting Jack's arrest] Elizabeth : Pirate or not this man saved my life. Norrington : One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness. Jack Sparrow : Though it seems enough to condemn him. Elizabeth Swann : You're pirates. Hang the code, and hang the rules. They're more like guidelines anyway. Elizabeth : I'm not entirely sure that I've had enough rum to allow that kind of talk. [The Black Pearl is gone] Elizabeth Swann : I'm sorry, Jack. Jack Sparrow : [wistfully proud] They done what's right by them. Can't expect more than that. Movie Title: King Arthur (2004) as Guinevere: Lancelot : There is a large number of lonely men out there. Guinevere : Don't worry; I won't let them rape you. Guinevere : My father told me great tales of you. Arthur : Really? And what did you hear? Guinevere : Fairy tales. The kind you hear about people so brave, so selfless, that they can't be real. Arthur and his knights. A leader both Briton and Roman. And yet, you chose your allegiance to Rome, to those who take what does not belong to them. That same Rome that took your men from their homeland. Arthur : Listen, lady. Do not pretend you know anything about me or my men. Guinevere : How many Britons have you killed? Arthur : As many as tried to kill me. It's the natural state of any man to want to live. Guinevere : Animals live. It's the natural state of any man to want to live free... in their own country. I belong to this land. Where do you belong, Arthur? Arthur : How's your hand? Guinevere : I'll live, I promise you. Is there nothing about my land that appeals to your heart? Your own father married a Briton. Even he must have found something to his liking. [about Arthur's father] Guinevere : He died in battle? Arthur : It's a family tradition. Guinevere : I belong to this land. Where do you belong? Guinevere : What tomarrow brings, we cannot know. Movie Title: Love Actually (2003) as Juliet: Juliet : We've never got friendly. I just wanted to say I hope that can change. I'm nice, I really am, apart from my terrible taste in pie. And it would be great if we could be friends. |
