• Knightley credits the 'Pirates' movies with both making and breaking her, saying they were 'the reason I was taken down publicly' despite being her most successful films.
• The actress, who has two young daughters, says she can no longer commit to the 'insane hours' and lack of control over filming schedules that come with long-running franchises, and is now looking for more 'pure entertainment' projects.
