Keira Knightley Interview 6
by Martyn Palmer
Q To state the obvious, your career is going remarkably well. Have you had a moment to savour the success?
A Well the thing is when Bend It Like Beckham came out I was in Prague doing Dr Zhivago. When Dr Zhivago came out I was in America, so I wasn't home in London for that. And when Pirates came out I was in Ireland and people over here don't give a shit about anything like that. But I did get home for a couple of days just after Pirates came out and it hit home because suddenly I had people staring at me. I thought `what, have I got something on my face?' And it's like `no, it is my face...' It was very weird. It was lovely to go home but it was also nice to come back to Ireland where nobody looks and nobody cares, they couldn't give a shit in general, which is fantastic.
Q Your Mother and Father obviously know the business very well. Are they able to give you good advice?
A It does because it doesn't give you any fairytale expectations and `I've never had that. It's always a surprise to me when I do get more work because when I think of actors I've always thought `out of work..' And the list of things I have to do when I'm out of work is fantastic! (laughs) I'm not going to stop! So it's fantastic to have people there who are very grounding, because they have seen it for what it is, and they've been through it all. I'm very, very lucky for that.
Q What is it that you love so much about acting?
A I don't know. It's the whole nomadic lifestyle. I love that. I love to keep moving. I think that's fantastic. At the moment it's perfect for me. I mean, I'm sure years ahead when I want to settle down, it might be different, but I'm young and I really love the job and the travelling so it's just great.
