Hollywood star Keira Knightley has revealed that she thought of quitting acting following the overnight success of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The actor said she nearly turned her back on Hollywood after suffering from Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

In an interview with The Sunday Times' Style magazine, Knightley was asked if she ever thought about quitting acting, she said, ''I did think about it. Particularly at the point when I had a breakdown. I had PTSD and panic attacks. I literally couldn't work for a year and I didn't know whether there would be an end to that."
