If you've got a Vogue magazine subscription, you can read how Pirates of the Caribbean actress Keira Knightley nearly gave up her profession three years ago.
The star, who shot to fame in Bend It Like Beckham, said she almost quit the acting business at 22, but then changed her mind again.
"I think I intended not to work again. I wasn't enjoying what I was doing and I felt terribly guilty about that. I remember hating the idea that I was in a privileged position and couldn't see the point of any of it," she told Vogue magazine.
She added: "I had worked solidly since I was 16, till 22, and I had not been on holiday in all of that time. I didn't know if I was going to go back to acting at all. I think for a long time I thought I wouldn't."
The actress obviously did head back to her trade, however, and she's currently starring in London Boulevard, a crime thriller which also features Irish heartthrob Colin Farrell.
