These are some of Keira's most memorable and meaningful quotes. She always speaks her mind whether it be from a song, public function, or magazine article. This is what makes her so wonderful!!

"The problem for me was that by being in the film the magic was broken. I loved the first Star Wars film and my mum was really into it too, that's why I took the part. But the Force wasn't there when we were filming it, and they didn't have real light sabres, which annoyed me."

(about wearing a corset on Pirates of the Caribbean) "I had a Scarlet O'Hara thing, she gets her waist down to 18 and a half inches - so I thought I would try that. For 5 minutes it's fantastic - you have this tiny waist and fantastic cleavage, but oxygen deprivation is a big problem!"

(About kissing Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean) There were these teenaged girls off-cam, and they were ready to kill me because I kissed Orlando Bloom!

"I feel less blonde now and, er, smarter!"

"There's no point having an 18th birthday in America."

"I've always been a snob about qualifications."

(on BILB) "I thought there would be doubles - stunt doubles - and I would just run in for the close-ups, but unfortunately they didn't have the money for that."

Elizabeth: Captain Barbossa, I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal.
Barbossa: There be a lot of long words in there, miss. We're naught but humble pirates. What is it that you want?
Elizabeth: I want you to leave and never come back.
[crew laughs]
Barbossa: I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means "no."

Elizabeth: This is the fastest ship in the Caribbean.
Anamaria: You can tell them that after they've caught us.

[Elizabeth is being laced into a corset]

Governor Swann: Elizabeth, is that entirely proper for you to c...
Elizabeth: About the day we met. Do you remember?

Elizabeth: I must tell him. The pirates, they cannot be killed.
Lt. Gillette: Don't worry, miss, he's already informed of that. A little mermaid flopped up on deck and told him the whole story.

Jack Sparrow: No. Not good. Stop. Not good. What are you doing? You've burned all the food, the shade, the RUM.
Elizabeth: Yes, the rum is gone.
Jack Sparrow: Why is the rum gone?
Elizabeth: One, because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two, that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire royal navy is out looking for me; do you really think that there is EVEN the slightest chance that they won't see it?
Jack Sparrow: But why is the rum gone?

Jack Sparrow: That's the second time I've had to watch that man sail away with my ship.
Elizabeth: But you were marooned on this island before, weren't you? So we can escape in the same way you did then.
Jack Sparrow: To what point and purpose, young missy? The Black Pearl is gone and unless you have a rudder and a lot of sails hidden in that bodice - unlikely - young Mr. Turner will be dead long before you can reach him.
Elizabeth: But you're Captain Jack Sparrow. You vanished from under the eyes of seven agents of the East India Company. You sacked Nassau Port without even firing a shot. Are you the pirate I've read about or not? How did you escape last time?

[Protesting Jack's arrest]
Elizabeth: Pirate or not this man saved my life.
Norrington: One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness.
Jack Sparrow: Though it seems enough to condemn him.

Elizabeth Swann: You're pirates. Hang the code, and hang the rules. They're more like guidelines anyway.

Elizabeth: If you're going to shoot me, please do so without delay.

Jack Sparrow: Is there a problem between us, Miss Swann?
Elizabeth: You were going to tell Barbosa about Will in exchange for a ship.
Jack Sparrow: We could use a ship. The fact is I was going to not tell Barbossa about bloody Will in exchange for a ship because as long as he didn't know about bloody Will I had something to bargain with. Which now no one has, thanks to bloody stupid Will.

Elizabeth: I'm not entirely sure that I've had enough rum to allow that kind of talk.

[The Black Pearl is gone.]
Elizabeth Swann: I'm sorry, Jack.
Jack Sparrow: [wistfully proud] They done what's right by them. Can't expect more than that.
