Speaking to Glamour Magazine the actress says “unless I’m unfortunate enough to catch something by accident, which happens, and it’s always a bad review. Always, it’s amazing. I will be sitting in a cafe, and I will open a random paper right to the page of the review. And then you’re sucked in and go home and never want to go out again.”

Keira who has come under fire over looking to skinny in these and these pictures has once again spoken out against the paparazzi who follow her.
She says, “I know that I am very lucky, but sometimes the intrusion is a very predatory force. When you are leaving your front door and paparazzi who are a lot bigger than you are shouting, ‘You’re a whore’ to try and make you cry - that obviously is not great. I am told by a lot of the paparazzi who follow me that they are helping my career but, by that logic, Paris Hilton should be the biggest box-office catch in the world and she isn’t.”
She adds “It is not good for any actor when your life becomes the story because, in your acting work, you are trying to tell a different story. What’s more, there is actual proof that if actors get too much attention, people just don’t go and see the film. That sort of over-exposure is something to be wary of.”

While at the Film Festival, the 23-year-old actress said “it was such an honor to actually be given this role. It was so incredible. There are relatively few leading roles for women, so to actually have one land on your doorstep was fantastic. The fact that people are now liking it is so exciting, so I don’t think you can ask for anything more than that.”
