What struck me most about today, apart from this unnecessary devastation, was the amazing love and spirit from the families. Their openness in speaking so personally to a load of strangers piled into their homes and their - I can’t find a way to say it - community. They have nothing but they support each other, taking care of each other’s children. With Houra, so many people, family members and friends came in to speak about her and the impact of her illness on everyone. I remember when I was 18, walking through the slums in Addis Ababa on a charity trip and it started raining. At least 10 strangers invited us into their homes to have coffee and take shelter. These people were similar. They live in abject poverty, their children struck down by diseases but the kindness they offer to each other and to strangers is definitely unlike anything I’ve seen in London; anything I’ve ever offered or received. I don’t want to sound sentimental but it is humbling. Totally humbling. [×]
Mark Romanek had a hard time making Keira Knightley look plain in the film. He tells in an interview: “It was difficult. She was eager and happy to do it because the role called for it. But even at her worst, Keira still looks astonishing.”

It’s taken me time to overcome my own doubts and insecurities. It’s been my nature not to want to believe in my own success and that I don’t deserve my success. But that’s something I’ve fought to overcome.
