Keira Knightley 'cutting down workload' to be with family

Keira Knightley has embarked on reducing her workload in order to spend some quality with her family, it has been revealed.

The 29-year-old actress said that first a person becomes successful and then they want to take every opportunity they can, which made her realise that her whole life-work balance was very little life and a whole lot of work, the Daily Express reported.

There comes a moment in life when people want to redress their life and that is why she is now trying to re-adjust her life-work balance in favour of more life and less work, she added.

'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' star admits that she had worked virtually non-stop for a period of five or six years and that began to wear her down so now she plans to do two films a year although of course it depends on what's available.

Knightley feels very fortunate for the fame she has earned and now she has learnt how to keep her private life separate from her professional life.
