Keira prefers London to Hollywood

Keira Knightley has vowed never to live in Hollywood because it’s a city with a one-track mind. The Pirates Of The Caribbean star says that she could never survive in such a suffocating environment. Though Knightley has become a well-known name in Hollywood, she says she cannot bear to live amongst her movie-obsessed contemporaries. The British actress says she loves living in London because of the cosmopolitan lifestyle there helps her development as an actress — something tinseltown could never manage. She explains in a magazine interview, “It’s a funny place — I could never live in Hollywood, because there’s nowhere to escape to. You find yourself sitting around a lot and every conversation you have is about movies. I think you have to be in a city that has different walks of life that you can observe and, for me, that’s London.”
