(Oct. 6) -- Keira Knightley's never been shy of showing some skin in a movie, but if you ask her, it was all totally warranted and boosted the storyline. The rising star, who can be seen in all of her corseted glory in 'The Duchess,' opened up to Glamour magazine about nudity (hers and others), living the luxury life and why she doesn't talk about her romances. Choice quotes below:

On Being Famous: "I know it sounds ridiculous, but I like disappearing. I don't actually have that thing of having to go, me, me, me, me."
On Being Comfortable With Nudity: "I certainly wouldn't do it if I wasn't. I detest unnecessary nudity and what it says about women in society. I think you see a lot of films where, Oh, yes, the woman gets her t--s out again and runs around naked for no reason. And you kind of go, Ugh, do we have to? [Laughs.]"
On Dealing With Public Perception: "It was very difficult when I was 16, 17, 18, 19. I felt that I had a lot to prove. It's obvious to say you can’t please everybody and there are always going to be people who are going to say, I just don't like you. There's nothing I can do about that. I'm aware, probably much more aware than my harshest critic, of what my own problems are with my acting ability. I'm very, very critical of myself, and I don't ever want to not be."
On Whether She Reads Her Reviews: "No. Nothing, nothing, nothing. 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."
On Her Love Life: "S---, I never say anything about who I date or who I don't date."

HANUMAN22: SO WHAT YOU ARE TELLING ME IS THAT I WAS CORRECT IN MY ASSESSMENT OF YOU. I'M GLAD THAT YOU INFORMED ME THAT YOU AND YOUR "WIFE" ARE "ARTISTES". AS AN "ARTISTE" THE FACT THAt YOU ARE BI-SEXUAL WOULD POSE NO PROBLEM FOR HER. DO YOU HAVE AN "OPEN MARRIAGE"? DOES SHE DO HER THING AND YOU DO YOURS AS "ARTISTES" ARE PRONE TO DO? HAVE YOU COME TO AN ARRANGEMENT WHEREIN SHE DOES NOT BEGRUDGE YOU YOUR BOYFRIENDS AND YOU DO NOT BEGRUDGE HER WHATEVER VARIETY OF LEISURE ACTIVITY SHE IS INTO? ARTISTIC WOMEN ARE USUALLY INTO DEVIANT SEX WITH MINORITIES TO DEMONSTRATE HOW SOPHISTICATED AND COSMOPOLITAN THEY ARE. IF I AM WRONG, PLEASE SET ME STRAIGHT. BUT, I DO NOT THINK THAT I AM WRONG. VERY TRULY YOURS, MR.RETIRED.

MrRetired, my comment was aimed at the moralism imbued by the religious right in this country which the uneducated masses adopt and spew as "proper" and then tell the rest of us what is and is not necessary in Film and art. My wife and I are artists. Ms. Knightley is a beautiful talented woman who as an artist appreciates the human form. Again, anyone who objects to nudity in society, art and cinema is rejecting their own human nature and whether you believe it or not is as irellevant as your twisted morals.

in the movie "Domino" Kiera is in, towards the end of the movie there is a scene where they drink cofee that is spiked with mescaline while driving a bus. They proceed to crash the bus off the road and then Kiera has sex with some guy next to the bus. I'm not sure how necessary it was for her to roll around naked for that scene but I must admit I enjoyed it.

Cute face. She isn't terribly thin. She's got some meat on her. Her breasts? That is another story. She seems proud to be flat. I bet she binds her chest to make sure they stay down. Well if anything, once she is done having sex, the dude can flip her over and iron his clothes.

i don't care what anybody says, keira is hot! i like skinny minnies. as far as breasts go, small is just as beautiful & sexy as big. i'ts unfortunate that there r still sorry excuses for men who judge a woman's beauty by her breast size. to me the most beatiful part of a woman's body is her face. u could say, i take women at face value. those of u who make the cruel & childish comments about her being thin r probably jealous cuz u can't lose that last hundred lbs. either get on a stretch rack or lose the weight!

Seeing flat breasts, flat butt Knightley naked is about as erotic as Gumby.

I'm just frustrated at the lack of morals and ethics. I have a gorgeous 9 yr old and 1 yr old little girl and I feel like i'm a dinosaur on these womanly matters of self worth, respect, and modesty. i don't want my little girls subjected to these porn obsessed, perverts. Men seem to have lost all respect for women, they don't even know how to speak to a woman. They speak to us as potential cheap date night ******. They know most women dont' go past 2 dates without putting out. I want my girls to be ladies and command respect. But with girls like Miley cirus and the like, it's hard to tell them that what they are doing is wrong, when the media glorifies it. Makes it look cool and sexy. My 9 yr old is constatnly trying to get me to let her wear fingernail polish, lip stick. I tell her when ur old enough. It's the little things like that that do matter. It all adds up in the end. If you let her do this now and that next month. Things that don't seem like a big deal at the time...

she can complain all she wants she's pretty enough but her scrawny body is about as attractive as a plucked chicken. i'd prefer her to keep her clothes on lots of them

i AGREE Queenrage but you seem so bitter. I have not been to the movies in years. I would rather watch sports than hear all the hype about these stars????
