"I don't mind exposing my t*** because they're so small - people aren't really that interested"
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY COVERS ALLURE DEC 2012
Hollywood is notoriously bereft of strong female characters, yet you seem to find a lot of them to play. Are you very picky with your choices?
I am very picky. And, yes, it is frustrating. But given that I'm not producing and not directing I don't really have a right to complain. I think it is very difficult to find really interesting roles and there are very few, so I feel incredibly fortunate that this is one [I got to play]. I think, in general, the female audience is a massive one, and actually it's one that's rarely really tapped into. Everybody is after that very famous and rather elusive demographic of men, age 18-24. Well, actually, I'm not in that demographic and I want to see women who are complex and strange and people who I can relate to and be terrified of and want to be and all the rest of it. So, I guess, as an actor, that's what I'm looking for: those people that interest me the most.
( +++++ really wonderful interview insideCollapse )

As for the breasts thing, I can't really comment, I've the opposite problem (AUS 10EE, despite being a size 8/10 in all other body parts :S)
To me, I think body proportions are the most important thing rather than just boob size alone. I'm skinny, but I still hold a little more of my weight in my ass/thighs/legs. I just wish I was more proportional, whether that would mean making my bottom half smaller or boobs bigger. But I know I can't change it soo whatever. It could be worse.
idk but I get what you're saying.
i have tiny arms and my chest even looks a bit bony sometimes but i still have my thighs/hips/ass (which is great etc. but i wish i had a bit more meat on my upper body to even things out tbh)
(Hooray for all boobs, tbh).
also I really like reading her interviews
