Zitat des Tages von Rosamund Pike:
I think you tend to try, during the time you've got off, to forget about the film. It was such a total world. I mean, the sets were claustrophobic, and as soon as you were on there, you were right back into it.
I've been doing Pride and Prejudice all summer, so suddenly the chance to be holed up with a bunch of marines is quite attractive, and probably a necessary dose of male energy.
Nothing can teach you what it's like to work on a film set, and the best education there can be for an actor is to walk up the street and observe human nature.
I would love to play the lead in a big romantic comedy. That's definitely a dream of mine.
There was a time during 'Gone Girl' that I'd come home, and I'd say, 'I get to be every part of being a woman in this role.' For me, I feel it much more as a springboard for the work I'm going to take on thereafter.
What's so great about 'Gone Girl' is the conversations it provokes.
In the original computer game of Doom, you not only have to kill things. You have to pulverise them.
I long for the day when there are things I feel strongly about politically.
I think, you know, as an actor we get these terribly sort of pretentious ideas in our heads. We try to take everything very seriously at first, you know, until we lighten up, we get onboard, and have a laugh.
Some women can feel under-qualified due to a general lack of confidence whereas, in fact, they are uniquely qualified.
The response to Pride has been so overwhelming. I mean, people have really loved it. And it's so rewarding because we had such a fun time making that film, and it was made with so much heart, that it's lovely that people seem to be responding in kind to that.
If someone makes you feel wrong-footed, you're unlikely to find them witty.
There are certainly contemporaries that I admire, like Emily Blunt. I think she is amazing.
Sometimes it irks when people come up in the street and say, 'Oh I'm a huge James Bond fan' - when you obviously want them to be a fan of your work in particular.
It was in New York, and I've always wanted to film in New York. And the writer was a teenage friend of mine. We did youth theatre together when we were 16 and always had a dream of making a film together. And ten years later, we've done it. So it's great.
And I like the look on people's faces when I say I'm doing this movie called Pride and Prejudice and they kind of smile, and then I say I'm in a movie called Doom and they kind of do a double take and try and put the two things together. And they never quite manage to.
I think when you are an only child, parents are more protective and fearful because they've only got one of you. I was not allowed to do a lot of things that, if I'd been, say, number three, I would have.
Actresses generally aren't allowed to have haircuts, because short hair isn't considered as versatile.
The job of an actor is the same in all of them, really. I mean, you're just creating a character that you hope people will believe, so it doesn't make that much of a difference really.
It is interesting to break all the rules. I'm not married, I have a baby, and it feels infinitely more right.
I've often felt I don't belong quite wherever I am.
I look my best when I'm totally free, on holiday, walking on the beach.
I'd really love to live in New York for awhile. That's what I'm hoping to do.
It's something that I am going over in my head about the whole video game thing, and whether you support violence by being in a film like this. I mean, to me, it's incredibly unreal and it's all about the action, and just explosions.
Success is freedom - scripts coming your way and getting to choose the stories you want to tell.
I grew up without any security - I obviously had lots of security because I have two parents who had a good marriage and stayed together, and we had a creative household full of ideas, but there was never any financial security. So I knew I could have a good life without that.
I've got friends who are pyrotechnics who do big fire shows, so I'm really fascinated by that.
You get those couples who are very fearful of bringing children into the mix because they feel like somehow that link between them as a couple is going to somehow dissolve or become less powerful or whatever. And that somehow the child is going to disrupt their happy stage.
What I find sexy is when someone's having fun and able to look right back at you.
I certainly relish the chance to play a woman who didn't have to conform in any way ever to expected behavior or desirable behavior or attractive behavior.
I saw a lot of operas from backstage and watched a lot of rehearsals - my parents were singers.
It's not easy casting the men. You have to go gingerly, but you have to approach the right man at the right time because men don't want to play second fiddle to a woman. That's the truth.
There are lots and lots of good actors out there, and often it's just luck if what you bring to the table syncs with the director's vision.
You just never know who's going to have chemistry. You can put two of the sexiest people in the world together, and they could be completely flat.
When I was about 21, everyone thought I was about 30.
Acting is about communicating what it is like to be human: the pain, the laughs, the misery, the joy. I suppose I am searching to have it all.
