Keira Knightley is on the cover of ELLE’s March issue. She talked about her current projects and being criticized as an actress.

Her upcoming film, Last Night, explores the issue of infidelity. According to Variety, the story follows a married couple tempted to cheat when they spend a night apart— the husband with a colleague and his wife with a past romance.

“When we were making it, the arguments on set were just amazing about whether mental infidelity is better or worse than physical infidelity,” she said.

That is a question the film explores, and according to Knightley, “there was a huge gender divide on the question.” Women said “mental infidelity is 10 times worse” and “most men” said physical is “the ultimate betrayal,” she said.

On criticism: “How do you feel knowing that everyone thinks you’re a s— actress?” is a question she always encounters.

Surrounding herself with people who tell her the truth: “You have to be selective about the people whose advice and opinions you take,” she said. “I know [my parents] would never tell me I was s— because they were trying to hurt me. I t would always come from a very sincere place.”

GLAMOUR: Keira is quite a glamorous name.

Keira Knightley: Is it?

GLAMOUR: Yes! Keira Knightley. You come from a theatrical family. Did they have theatrical expectations of you?

Keira Knightley: My mother is a writer and my dad’s an actor. But, no, they didn’t. I think they would have been happier if I hadn’t done the same thing as them.

GLAMOUR: Come on.

Keira Knightley: Why, come on?

GLAMOUR: You’ve done very well. So if you came home and said, I’d like to be a nurse, a kindergarten teacher, a scientist…

Keira Knightley: I think they would have been over the moon about a career that has certain securities that you certainly don’t get if you’re an actress. Nobody knows whether you’re going to do well or not.

GLAMOUR: I actually think people who are very successful are the people who knew what they wanted to do from the get-go, like you.

Keira Knightley: I don’t know, I think that puts a lot of pressure on kids who don’t know what they want to do. I think it has a bit to do with luck, too. Read the full interview on Glamour.com.
