Keira Knightley talks her next project in the Elle magazine’s March 2010 issue.

Here’s what the 23-year-old actress, who wore Donna Karan on the cover, had to share:

On her character in The Misanthrope: “Jennifer’s kind of a crazy mix of being a complete b—- - confident and terrifying - yet she’s incredibly young and is probably being exploited way more than she actually realizes.”

On criticism of her acting: “Oh, they still say that! Every time I do an interview with the English press, one of their questions is, ‘How do you feel knowing that everyone thinks you’re a s— actress?’”

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