Note to self: Don't call Keira Knightley cute! The actress, who graces the cover of the December issue of Elle magazine opens up about her steamy sex scene in her next flick, on being super moody, and why she hates the word "cute." Here are some highlights from the interview...
On being moody:
“I’m a moody bastard. Actually, I’ve been banned from reading newspapers because the way they’re written angers me so much. If I want an opinion, I’ll read the opinion part of the newspaper. I do not want it when I’m trying to get the facts. I get incredibly angry. It really f—ks me off. See, I have to calm down about it.”
On becoming aware of her sexual powers:
“Oh, my god. I don’t think I’m aware of it now! No… I’m lying. I don’t know why I said that. No, I’m not lying, actually. I’ll just have an argument with myself!”
On her sex scene in upcoming movie Atonement:
“There was no knob-touching, for real. But it certainly looked like that.”
On the word “cute”:
“I hate cute, I’ve always hated cutesy. My mom used to ban the word cute. Absolutely banned.”
On cell phones:
“I hate them. It rings, and then I realize that I don’t want to talk to anyone. So I always press ignore.”
