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. – Rosamund Pike
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. – Rosamund Pike
I saw a lot of operas from backstage and watched a lot of rehearsals – my parents were singers. – Rosamund Pike
I do know that the key to anything good is feeling relaxed and free. That’s the main thing that you can offer yourself as an actor. – Rosamund Pike
In the original computer game of Doom, you not only have to kill things. You have to pulverise them. – Rosamund Pike
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. – Rosamund Pike
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. – Rosamund Pike
I think I was lucky in that I wasn’t one of those girls who are told they are pretty the whole time. I never got that. Nor did I ever obsess about my looks as a teenager. – Rosamund Pike
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. – Rosamund Pike
It is interesting to break all the rules. I’m not married, I have a baby, and it feels infinitely more right. – Rosamund Pike
Anger is not an accepted thing for women. And, you know, I do get angry. I feel it’s a very honest emotion. – Rosamund Pike
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. – Rosamund Pike
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. – Rosamund Pike
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. – Rosamund Pike
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. – Rosamund Pike
If you told my 13-year-old self that one day I’d be talking about how Tom Cruise and I had good chemistry, she’d think you were completely mad. – Rosamund Pike
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. – Rosamund Pike
I’ve got friends who are pyrotechnics who do big fire shows, so I’m really fascinated by that. – Rosamund Pike
I’d like to do Nicole Diver in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s ‘Tender Is the Night,’ if that ever gets made. – Rosamund Pike
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. – Rosamund Pike
