Knightley then added: "The strongest roles I have ever discovered have been in period characters. I also love the opinion of respiring life back to what's gone. In a hilarious way, it's revive the dead". But now once again, she's featuring in a period film named "Colette", established from the biography of Colette, a French novelist.

She's a extremist".
