About Keira Knightley


  • Obviously we were looking for a beautiful young woman, but beauty alone is not enough. Keira is truly gifted and it is wonderful to watch her work. It seems so effortless. She's going to be a big star.
    • Jerry Bruckheimer, producer The Pirates of the Caribbean

  • It's a face audiences love to look at--a face that people can project their own emotions on, and she's incredibly lucky to look the way she does.
    • Joe Wright, her director in Pride & Prejudice (2005) and Atonement (2007).

  • Keira just steps into the ring and attacks. She's just as sweet as she can be and has a great sense of humor.
    • Johnny Depp, co-star in The Pirates of the Caribbean.
