Keira Knightly apparently has some self esteem problems. Here is a interview she did for Allure magazine. She is the cover girl next month.

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.”

Gosh, I wish I had those problems instead of the ones I have…Wanna trade Keira?
