Keira Knightley: I pace myself
EN Interview 2 - Keira Knightley, 29, looked stunning in a multi-coloured Chanel dress at the Toronto Film Festival to promote The Imitation Game, starring opposite Benedict Cumberbatch. Accompanying her to the glamorous festival was musician hubby, James Righton, 31, whom she married in May 2013. Her previous relationships include Del Synnott from 2001 to 2003, Jamie Dornan from 2003 to 2005 and Rupert Friend from 2005 until 2010.
THE INTERVIEW:
Q: How did you get along with all these guys? They seemed like a lot of fun.
KNIGHTLEY: You have seen Matthew (Goode) and Allen (Leech)? They were great: I loved them. I knew Benedict because we worked on Atonement, and I met Matthew once, but I had no idea of the level of Matthew Goode, and I didn*t know Allen either. I loved being part of their gang; they were very lovely to let me into their gang.
Q: Unlike your character.
KNIGHTLEY: Unlike my character. Well, no, they eventually let her in, whereas they let me in straight away. They found a bottle of wine helped. It always does.
Q: This is a very challenging film at least in terms of knowledge that you at least had to master how to pretend that you knew what was going on.
KNIGHTLEY: I can always pretend that I know what*s going on. (Laughter) I normally don*t and I can only pretend. (laughs)
Q: How good is your math knowledge?
KNIGHTLEY: It*s non-existent. Well I got a B at school, so I couldn*t have been that bad, and for two seconds we all thought, yeah, let*s bring crosswords. I think we should do this. I think it took two days to do half of one quick crossword, so it*s definitely not my thing either.
Q: And who is the one to help when your computer is on strike? How well are you dealing with technology?
KNIGHTLEY: I hate it. I mean, technology, like you just turn it on and off again don*t you, and it*s very impressive. (laughter) It is, it*s useful. It*s great. But I hate it.
Q: You don*t do Twitter or Facebook or anything?
KNIGHTLEY: No, not interested.
Q: And your husband? He*s a musician.
KNIGHTLEY: He does it. They do it, they have to do it. But I am not interested. (laughs)
Q: But you always love to find the keys to your character, you love the research work, so what was it here that you could do?
KNIGHTLEY: Well I spent two weeks trying to desperately to understand what they were talking about and desperately trying to get my head around some of the theorems. Are they called theorems or theories? I don*t know. (laughter) So I sort of looked at those and I spent two weeks all day sort of taking the theorems and looking them up. I bought a mathematics book to try and get the technique and at the end of the two weeks I was like, I don*t understand a word! (laughs) I mean I sort of understood that if I had studied for about three years, I might get to the door of understanding something, but then I wouldn*t get through the door. So no, I didn*t understand any of it. I just pretended.
Q: What did you know about it before you started this project?
KNIGHTLEY: I had read an article in The Guardian I think about five years before where there had been a big push to get him pardoned. And then actually, I remember reading it because I got so fascinated and so shocked by the story and shocked that I had never heard of him and didn*t know what happened to him. I Googled a lot and tried to find as much information as I could about him. And then when I had heard that they were doing the film, I knew that I wanted to be a part of it. I didn*t know how much of the Joan (Clarke) story they were telling or how other women might have been involved. I think it*s an extraordinary cast of people who are involved and actors who normally play very big roles coming in for sort of tiny little bits and I think that*s because everybody sort of felt like it was a story that was very important to put out there and one that people really wanted to be a part of.
Q: Do you understand the relationship? Do you understand why she didn*t want to leave when he offered?
KNIGHTLEY: Yeah, totally. I think it was a meeting of the minds. I think at that point and I think the best thing you could hope for was being a housewife, and all of a sudden you have got somebody who could potentially have this life where you are both completely obsessed by the same thing and you totally understand it and you have a partnership and you have a friendship and yeah I can understand that decision to say, Yes, I will go with that. That would be better than sort of being chained to a sink. I can completely understand that.
