Keira Knightley Has Self Esteem Issues

Keira Knightley is like everyone else - human. Who wouldn't get affected by some of the stories written about bad hair days and wardrobe mistakes? She opens up about her self esteem issues in October's Allure. 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 being called an anorexic:

"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."

Have we ever had an interview clip where she was happy or positive? Get a real problem!

In her own words "people like to blame their insecurities on other people."

But she still insists on doing half nude photo shoots ? Why should I have to be subjected to naked women in a womans magazine? I just dont get it. Im sure you can see a Nip in the last shot.
