Quote Of The Day
Filed under: Anglophilia > Quote of the Day > Keira Knightley
“I absolutely hate red carpet events. I don’t like the fact that people write ‘Oh you look like crap’ [afterwards] or 'I don't like your arms'. I’m not Wonder Woman! I have self-esteem issues. Everybody does. You know, skinny people are allowed to feel shit about themselves [too].”

Gimme a break! Go eat a sammich!

Hey people
FIRST
:) amazing
silly!
12th! Boo, whore.
so true
she's right…. i may not like her opinion but she is right
Kiera Knightly is sound. Despite what these interviews sound like, she's actually got her head screwed on the right way.
I love her.
bitch please, you signed up for this now deal with it. Are we actually suppose to feel sorry for you?
1st?
First!!
first
bitch go eat a twinkie
fat bitch.
1st
1st
hmmm
FIRSSSSTTTTTT!!!!!!!!! yeah right
Man. In all of her magazine interviews lately she has just been complaining about Hollywood.
For what they get paid, I think they can take a little criticism.
Dumb bitch. So become a waitress at Dennys and you wont have to go to any Red Carpet events.
Boo-freaking-hoo. She needs to STFU and quit whining about how hard she has it. She chose to be an actress. So deal with it already! Oh, and she needs a cheeseburger–or three.
I've always liked her! Seems pretty down to earth….
I totally agree with keira!
Boo Hoo
luv
luv
luv her
xoxoxo

keira is one of the skinny people in hollywood that i actually respect, because she's one of the ones who actually tries to gain wait instead of just peretending she does. She's probably one of the most real celebs out there today, and plus, in an interview she said she wished she was fat. :] i love her.
Plenty of people are naturally thin. I eat like a pig and can never gain weight. Doesn't mean people should get constantly picked on by the media and everyone else. You can be thin with out have an eating disorder and it doesn't mean anyone has the right to say you look like a boy, etc, etc.
Oh yeah people, newsflash- Curves and blubber aren't the same thing.
I do kind of feel sorry for them…i mean it's not right to say mean things even if they do make a lot of money
maybe she should talk to somebody about her issues
If you hate red carpet events so much then don't go and attract attention to yourself with your manner of dress. She always wears things, particularly tiny outfits that draw attention to her small frame. She knows that and she goes anyway understanding the buzz she will create. I know she had bad days like the rest of us but please.
well, at least she speaks her mind.
OH MY JUST LOOK AT THIS SITE NOW!!!!!!!!!
Are you people serious?? No one should feel sorry for her, she can easily get away from Hollywood. If it bothers her that much, then leave!! Stop making movies and go live in Iowa!!! She puts herself out there, and gets paid to be in the public eye, I have no pity for this GIANT BITCH! Such a cunt, for real!!!!
IS SHE INSANE?
I agree that the girl has made it pretty ovious that she needs to eat something and fix her "self esteem" issues but quite frankly I love her for being up front and honest and not some talking Barbie doll trying to impress people with what they want to hear.
She can skip all the red hell carpet events as long as she keeps putting out the period piece films.
SAME FUCKING GARBAGE JUST LIKE EVERY DAY NOW.
she ACTUALLY annoys me so much…and she looks rank in the chanel advert.
i love you kiera! i hear you skinny sister! i get shit on all the time about how skinny i am… we cant help it. its like when people get called fat… its the same feeling. i think you always look beautiful… and you are one of my favorite actresses.
You guys just dont get it. You dont know what its like to be me…a skinny beautiful, rich, whinny movie star!!!!!
I agree with her … mostly everyone has issues BUT "hate red carpet events"? WTF ?!?!?!?!?! Switch jobs, byotch!
i fink shes a good actress n i lyk her films n have nothing against her as a person but shes too SKINNY!! how can she fink she luks normal?? that is NOT natural!!! pretty face, ugly figure
oh get over yourself
I can sort of relate to Keira Knightley. I always been skinny my entire life, back in high school I was barely fitting a size 1 in jeans but I was a C cup in a bra. My friends teased me all the time, saying that I wasn't shape like the average teen girl. I gained 15 pounds since then, and I wear a size 2 but a D cup. Well the teasing hasn't stop, I learned the hard way you can't please everyone.
Keira Knightly flatters herself. She is not skinny - just flat-chested. Her legs are always covered up, so you never get to see the whole picture. She needs a good push-up/padded bra to balance her figure. Keira needs a reality check pronto and it's here: theskinnywebsite (dot com).
Oh, my God, she is sooooo FAT! Lose some weight, you tub of lard heifer!
Keira should just stop responding to comments about her weight.
Grow up and shut up.
when will she shut up about her damn weight?!
we get it! ur skinny! and you'll never change! get over urself!
Then Just EAT!
dear kiera: skinny people and anorexic people are too different things. stop pretending your thinness isn't due to a finger down your throat or starving yourself… we all remember when you were a normal weight- i hated you then, too, but less than i do now. signed, a TRUE skinny person. ps- shut your trap. nobody likes you or your ugly mug that is always stuck in some sort of unnatural pose.
thank u keira*claping in background*
Sorry what? Got distracted by Dita von Teese down below. Now THAT is a woman!
waaa waaaa waaa!!! WOULD YOU LIKE SOME CHEESE WITH THAT WHINE?? get over yourself! TRY LIVING In a third world country in the midst of poverty and tell me what u really prefer! People can never be happy!
Come on, be fair to her - all those red carpet events are done to promote the film. She has to do them. And yes she's skinnier than she used to be, but let's face it, who can deal with people constantly pestering someone on about the way they look?
GO EAT A BURGER…WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH ALL THAT MONEY…STARVE?
But I bet the 10mil you make per picture makes the hurt go away…boo frikken hoo.
WHAT IS THIS BITCHES OBSESSION W/"SKINNY"?? NO ONE GIVES A SHIT - GO BRUSH YOUR FUCKING TEETH!
I LOVER HER. MEOW to all you haters.
she wanted to be an actress. that doesn't mean she ever wanted all of the accompanying holywood shit that goes with that. she's naturally skinny, and it would piss me off if people were critical the whole time. i do think she cant be looking in the right mirror though, she's so incredibly beautiful. i think her face is the most beautiful face of any actress today. when she is made up she looks incredible.
I dont get it. Here she describes herself as "skinny" and in a lot of other mags she complains that she dreds auditions because she is always the biggest girl out there for the part.
What happened to the day of actor/actresses actually being a full package? I can just imagine Marilyn Monroe struting down the red carpet with bad posture, stringy hair and some outfit that hangs like a sack and then complaining about the buzz… sure celebs are people, but they're celebs so they can be a PRODUCT. Get your shit together Keira. You're not the only skinny one out there - you just emphasize it more. I miss the days of most stars being an enigma.
r u people serious? its ok for overweight people to have self esteen issues but its not ok for skinny people to have them either. get real people, all this hype about how being so skinny is bad makes the people that are naturaly skinny feel awkward and less confident. i should know, because thats exactly how i feel, when people say ohhh look you're so skinny oh god, you think i don't know im skinny? i try and eat so much but i just get stuffed and i don't put any weight on, it gets very frustrating because i don't look like healthy. you wouldn't go to some, ohh look you're so fat would u? why is it different to do it to people that are skinny. its not easy to put weight on when you're natural build is slim/skinny or to loose weight when you're a little bigger. people just need to except every1 for what they look like and stop being so dam critical. she gets paid 2 act, not to have stupid comments about her arms or weight posted everywhere.
stupid idiot, she is in love with herself, i can't stand this posh little girl attitude.
I'd feel shit about looking like a scarecrow in a sack too. Her face is so pretty… she'd look so much better with a few curves on her!
Re: snarkalicious – EXACTLY!
What the fuck does first mean. You people suck.
God that is so true. People always assume that thin women are somehow immune to low self esteem and being hurt my criticism.
Boo Hoo
Awe… Poor Skinny Bitch! Why don't you try eating something… then you won't have the problem where your arms look like toothpicks!
Poor, poor skinny girl. Get of Hollywood if you don't like it or shut the fuck up.
I don't think that because you act and know you will be in the public eye it means you cannot have an opinion and express it. She gets interviewed left and right and the weight questions and answers are the only portions people want to repeat and show to us on their sites.
Do you think she turned to a camera, said this quote and stepped away?? But she has as point! People assume smaller women are content but that is very far from the truth!!
I was the thin one and craved so bad for my sister's breasts and curves. I had all these shapely women in my family and people would poke fun at me and call me Olive Oyl and shit. I hated it and hated how guys only gave her attention. As I grew up & matured, I got over it.
But having money doesn't mean when a tabloid disses you, it slides right off!! Of course it's hard to have thick skin all the time. ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN who are scrutinized in the media more than the men. They compare women's looks all the time and it's gonna hurt sometimes. Why not talk about it to the media? We want to know so much about their lives and feelings, so Keira told you something. Big deal! She's has the right to an opinion all her own!!!!
I agree with her, I've been about the same size as her my whole life and have had people say that I'm anorexic and say that i need to gain weight, it gets to you after awhile. It feels the same as someone telling you your fat. Some people have a hard time gaining weight it's not necessarily their fault that they are too skinny in your opinion.
She is obsessed with her weight. She obvs has a problem or she wouldn't talk about it all the time.
Seems like everytime there's a Keira quote, its her talking about how she has self esteem issues, and that it hurts her to hear skinny comments… No Keira, what youre really saying is, look at me! I'm thin! Keep talking about how thin I am! I love it!
…bitch doesnt have self esteem issues, shes one of those who cnstantly puts themselves down just to hear others compliments…she knows she's beautiful, she just wants to hear it from everyone else

We can't just say shut up, you make a lot of money. That's an ignorant thing to say. These celebs are still regular people underneath it all.
Maybe she should just not answer the weight questions, but it's what people seem to want to hear about. I'd just say, "I'm tired of the weight stuff - ask me about my film please."
(TO ALL SIZE 1 to 4 CLOTHES GIRLS.) DON'T LET THE THICKER FEMALES BRING YOU DOWN. BECAUSE 10-15 YEARS FROM NOW, ALL THE THICK GIRLS WILL BE FAT AND OBESE. AND WE'LL BE WHAT A SIZE 8 THE MOST. MY FRIENDS PARENTS CONSTANTLY TELL ME, DON'T GAIN WEIGHT ON PURPOSE YOU"LL LIVE TO REGRET IT. STAY NATURALLY SKINNY AS LONG AS YOU CAN. CAUSE WHEN YOU'RE MIDDLE AGE AND HAD A FEW KIDS, YOU"RE GONNA WISH THAT YOU WERE THIN AGAIN. BE HAPPY!!!!!!
I dont understand why people are all like " oh she chose to do this". She chose to be an actress, that doesnt mean she has to like everything that comes with it. She cant just quit been an actress like some people are saying beacause she doesnt like the red carpet.
Boo Hoo, Keira. If you hate Red Carpet events…DON'T GO! Nobody is forcing you to be a celebrity sweetie! It comes with the territory. Want to make a zillion dollars for acting? Gotta put yourself out there. If not, go act in some off off Broadway play and you won't have to read anything bad about you (b/c nobody will be writing jack shit).
i love her!!!!!!
she is so real!!!!!!
and a #1 actress in my book!!!
So I guess what a lot of you "humanitarians" are saying is that you are only allowed your bad days, or complaints or to feel bad about yourselves IF you are NOT someone in the limelight. And the world wonders why there can never truly be peace. It's because people continue to enjoy tearing each other apart in the most savage ways as possible. What happened to "do unto others?"
I'm all for freedom of your expressions/speech - just perhaps you might take some time to think about what you are saying and why. Is it jealousy or greed? If the star came and messed up your cereal personally, that would be different. But it's not even your bowl.
Oh, and if someone put the camera on you 24/7 waiting to pick out your "finest" moments, while you might enjoy it in the beginning, it would grow old on you real fast. (Unless you're just hopeless and thrive on negative attention anyhow in which case none of this will make sense to you.)
Try to remember a little more about love and less about hate. Everyone have a good day.
she's right, you know…
GO Keira! It's ok for her to complain about the industry she is in and NO she does not have to leave Hollywood because she doesn't like certain aspects about the industry she is in. In every industry in the world people complain about certain aspects of their job. She is not saying she doesn't like acting…in fact she has stated that she loves being an actress. It's just she does not have to grin and be happy about all the s*** that goes with being a famous actress. Get a grip people I know they get paid a lot of money, but that just means they have to put up with way more b***s*** than the average McDonald's or Office worker. Everyone has their own self esteem issues and it doesn't make it right to trash them or tell them "Go eat a Twinkie" because they are making millions of dollars while doing what they love and happen to be naturally slim. (And we wonder why the world's suicide rate is so high?) I hope Keira keeps talking and complaining because we shouldn't just accept things especially trash talking about the way God made a person. This is America so everyone can say what they want and Keira can voice her opinions until the cows come home, and all the haters can say what they want. But at the end of the day she will still be making millions, looking beautiful, and working on her own issues and the haters will still be wishing they had a piece of her life.
Well put.
didnt she say she was fat the other day.. she should just keep her mouth shut!
THIS ONES A KEEPER.
Wow, there are a lot of jealous fat pigs on here…..
I am confused. A couple weeks ago she said that she was one of the largest actor's in Hollywood and now she claims she is (unfortunately?) too skinny. If you hate all the media attention and people judging your body, perhaps you should not do a photoshoot/interview for Allure magazine!
the comments from this really show how DUMB americans are. Movie star = unhuman. Get your heads out your asses and actually LOOK at the real world and the real people who live in it.
Exactly. Commenting on people's weight is rude, no matter what size they are.
Love Kiera! ^^
she would be right, but she just looks as if she doesnt eat.
I love Keira, she is the most amazingly cute and lovely girl, and seems to have such a real and down to earth personality. She is my role model because I the same figure as her (skinny, flat chested and with curvy legs and bum, which most people never actually realize that Keira has). And she's fucking gorgeous.
Perez takes all of these quotes WAY the fuck out of context. The other one where she was supposedly talking about how "fat" she was, she wasn't talking about weight. She looks exactly the same as she did in Bend It Like Beckham and for all of you thinking she looked better in POTC. Her body was almost entirely covered and they airbrushed boobs into the publicity photos.
I've seen pics of her entire family, her father, mother and brother are ALL thin. Oh no! Thin people! They must all be anorexic! Gasp! It's not possible to be thin anymore! Eating disorder eating disorder! Sandwichs will solve everything right? Just because hamburgers made your ass fat doesn't mean that works for everyone…
I Love Love Love How Fucking Brutally Honest She Is!!!
She's talking sense, but bloody ell she doesn't half moan!
Perez, you have got to be one of the biggest Hypocrits in the world. You always bitch at celebs for being so fake or this or that (whoevers on your shit list, that is of course until they acknowledge your existence then its all good and there your fav) then when they in fact do something normal (human like) you make fun of them or give the whole cry me a river shit b/c your a celeb and rich so your not allowed to complain or feel down on yourself. It's a complete paradox that you put them all in. You ask them to be human, then when they try you tell em to fuck off you have no right to act normal because, you know your rich and famous.
I really hate that girl. " i dont have anorexia but my grandmother suffered from it"..does us a favour hunny
I don't understand why anyone should feel shit about themselves. that's not a good message. skinny/fat/in between you should feel great.
