Keira Knightley has "Self-Esteem Problems'
In an new interview with Allure magazine, actress Keira Knightley speaks out about how she hates the red carpet, and allegations of anorexia, crazy fans & claims that she doesn't even know how much she weighs!
On walking the red carpet:
"I hate red-carpet events; I absolutely hate them. I don't like the fact that people write, 'Oh, you look like crap' in print. Or 'I don't like your arms!' "
On her self-image:
"I'm not Wonder Woman. I have self-esteem problems. Everybody does. You know, skinny people are allowed to feel s--- about themselves."
On the accusations anorexia:
"I haven't got a clue about how much I weigh. I do not own any scales. And I have noticed it creates an anger in people who are not skinny. People like to blame their insecurities on other people."
On the characters she likes to play:
There is definitely a f-you quality to the characters I choose. A lot of times in cinema today the women are overly sentimental, so I constantly try to do the opposite. I like strident women."
On the anxieties of fame:
"You have this feeling -- everyone wants a bit of you. Wants to suck a bit of you. Wants a piece of you. It does feel like that. Any sane person knows, this is not nice. It's a pretty horrific profession, really."
