Keira Knightley says actress shouldn't be role models because they are too "crazy".
The 'Duchess' star - who plays Georgiana, the Duchess of Devonshire, in the new period drama - insists young women should not be influenced by film stars because they will get the wrong idea about how to act in life.
She said: "You have to leave your emotions available to you. Which is why all actresses are crazy and why I don't particularly think they should be role models."
Keira also revealed she "expects" to star in bad films, because you can't have a trouble-free film career.
She added to the Big Issue magazine: "You never know what is going to happen. You can have the best script, the best everything and the film can still be c**p. Or you can still have c**p people and the film, for some reason, can still be good.
"So you have to accept that failure is going to happen - and it is going to happen - and I'm going to make shocking films and do really horrendous performances. It won't be intentional, obviously!"

Keira Knightley's naked confidence
Keira Knightley has no problem going nude in front of the camera.
The 23-year-old actress was happy to whip her bra off during a sex scene with Cillian Murphy in 'The Edge of Love'.
She said: "It was very simple. It was a sex scene and I never like them when they've got bras on. So when asked I said, 'alright
then'."
This isn't the first time Keira has stripped off in a movie. The British star previously filmed steamy scenes for 'Domino' and
'Atonement'.
While the actress is happy to bare her flesh on the big screen, she is terrified of singing in front of the cameras.
Keira, who has previously spoken about her reluctance to sing in 'The Edge of Love', is set to receive singing lessons for the role
of Eliza Doolittle in the remake of 'My Fair Lady'.
The actress is determined her vocal abilities will be in tip-top shape when she belts out the movie's classic songs, including 'The
Rain In Spain' and 'Wouldn't It Be Loverly?'.
My 'Fair Lady' is due to start shooting in 2010.

Keira Knightley's love snub
Keira Knightley says she never gets asked out on a date.
The 23-year-old actress - who is dating her 'Pride and Prejudice' co-star Rupert Friend - insists she is never approached by
prospective lovers, and wouldn't even notice if she was.
She said: "I never get chatted up. Honestly, I don't! And I'm so stupid that I wouldn't even realise if I was. I sometimes get a
look but that's about it!"
Later in an interview with BBC Radio 1, Keira's 'Edge of Love' co-star Sienna Miller - who stars with her in the new biopic of
Welsh poet Dylan Thomas - revealed she threw her across a room while shooting the movie.
Sienna said: "I was filming this scene where I was on top of Matthew Rhys, who played Dylan Thomas, and Keira had to come
and pull me off. But she literally ended up throwing me halfway across the room!"
Keira added: "I just don't know my own strength!"

"It's not me, it's make-up!" - Keira Knightley
Actress Keira Knightley admits that her all time gorgeous looking face is the result of airbrushing and make up.
According to Radio Times, the 22-year-old insisted that fans should not be obsessed with her looks.
"Somebody goes, 'Gosh, you're pretty.' Thanks. I've got good genes! OK, I'm on the cover of a magazine but somebody else does the hair, and the make-up, and airbrushes the f*** out of me - it's not me, it's something other people have created,” the Telegraph quoted Knightley, as saying.
The actress also revealed that she was frightened seeing kids captivated by fame.
"It frightens me when kids go 'I want to be famous'," she told the Radio Times.
"Why? Because you can get into a restaurant? You know what? If you book, you can get into a restaurant! 'I want to be rich and famous.' Go and work on the stock market,” she said.
Meanwhile, the Oscar nominated actress agreed with critics who said her acting in debut film ‘Bend It Like Beckham’ was bad.
"I completely agreed on every level. I didn't go to drama school, so I didn't get the training. It was difficult to get over that: 'What am I doing? I'm pretending that I can do this and everybody's telling me I can't',” she said.
