Keira Knightley is gracing the cover of the latest issue of Glamour magazine and looking its best in the photo shoot inside the magazine. The 23-year-old actress talked during the interview about her pressures, her past and choice of being an actress; how her parents would have been much happier not being an actress.

Here are some highlights from Keira Knightley interview with US Glamour Magazine.

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.
