Hi everyone and thank you for tuning in to the for the last 15 years. Ever since she burst onto the scene in Bend It Like Beckham,

the Pirates of the Caribbean, the Curse of the Black Pearl,

and Love Actually, all within one year.

Over the time since, she has-out work as consistently as just about

anyone in films like Pride and Prejudice, Atonement, The Duchess, Never Let Me Go,

A Dangerous Method, Anna Correnina, Begin Again, The Imitation Game, and now Kaleh, a film about the

creative and sexual awakening of the trailblazing 18th century French author of the same name, which

had its world premiere at January Sundance Film Festival,

which screened again last week at the Toronto International Film Festival, and which Bleaker Street

will begin rolling out in the US on Friday.

I'm talking, of course course about the two-time

acting Oscar nominee and two-time anchor of a best-picture Oscar nominee who also

happens to be one of my very favorite actresses, Kira Knightley. Over the course of our conversation at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills,

the 33-year-old and I discussed a wide range of topics, including how acting helped her to overcome

dyslexia, what she learned from the only acting lesson

she ever received from her father.

How sudden celebrity led to paparazzi scrutiny, which in turn led to PTSD, a breakdown and a decision to temporarily step away from her

career, how she subsequently overcame stage fright and learned to stop carrying what other

people think, why she has consistently gravitated towards period

peace costume dramas, plus much more.

So without further ado, let's go to that

Cara thank you so much for doing this, appreciate it.
