              •  "She's game for the role [in Domino (2005)], but her main function is to look super-cute in tight jeans, black leather and lethal armaments, smoking a lot and chewing gum very aggressively", MTV, Oct. 14, '05
              •  "on the set of film Atonement, the crew had to stop filming and spent 45 minutes trying to undo the Chanel pendant from the star's neck after the clasp jammed ... But it was not the only wardrobe malfunction on set. Keira said: 'I had to light a cigarette and lighters always break for me on film sets. At this particular moment the lighter had broken for about the millionth time so I'm actually going, 'Fuck, fuck, fuck!'", Sunday Mail (UK), Sep. 16, '07
              •  "Smoking can be sexy. I know it's not politically correct to say that, but check out Keira Knightley in her new movie [Atonement (2007)], and I think you'll agree. I hit a screening last night at the DGA in Los Angeles, and watching this British beauty take a drag off a hand-rolled cigarette is pure foreplay", E! Online, Planet Gossip, Nov. 6, '07
              •  "To get to the core of Cecilia, Knightley dived back into the rich source material, Ian McEwan's novel, finding a psychological and physical underpinning for her character's initially hostile behavior toward McAvoy's Robbie. 'The beginning of the book, where it describes Cecilia, it's all about how much she needs a cigarette,' Knightley said. 'The whole vibe was a nicotine addict needing a cigarette and not being able to find one'", Los Angeles Times, Dec. 6, '07
              •  "Did you do research to get into this glamorous period? Did you study Bette Davis? 'I did. It wasn't Bette Davis though - well, it's always a bit of Bette Davis. It was Greta Garbo quite a lot, with the smoking thing'", Cinema Blend, Dec. 6, '07
              •  "Knightley's character is almost always smoking in the movie [Atonement (2007)], which makes me happy, because it's true to the period. She works the cigarettes quite well, too. 'What we were trying to do was really go back to that very 1940s style of filmmaking, and you go back to any of those films and it's a cigarette on the go the whole time,' she said. 'Greta Garbo, I watched a lot for her cigarette action. She has a great way of holding it. And there was some fantastic Bette Davis butt action as well'", E! Online (Reel Girl gossip column), Dec. 10, '07

              •  "At the Arthur premiere it was obvious to onlookers that her mum was keen to keep Keira under control. A party guest recalls: 'I heard Keira moaning to her friend: 'I'm so desperate for a ciggie but mum's got them and I can't have another one.' Her mum was rationing her all night. When she wasn't allowed one her mum would let her have a puff of her cigarette discreetly. It seemed that she wasn't bothered about Keira actually smoking but she didn't want her to appear smoking in her premiere pictures'", The Express (UK), Oct. 23, '04

I shouldn't be smoking, it's completely awful. I'm very bad. [Applause from audience] I don't smoke, and in this film I smoke all the time, all the time.

'Are you smoking again?' asks her Atonement costar James McAvoy as she returns and starts rolling her own. 'I'm smoking because there were so many f---ing photographers outside,' she says. 'I thought, F--- it — I'll have a cigarette.' Her lungs won't get a break anytime soon.
