Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Rosamund: (On "Die Another Die") 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: I've got friends who are pyrotechnics who do big fire shows, so I'm really fascinated by that.
-
Rosamund Pike: I hate the politically correct term 'Bond Woman'... 'Bond Girl' sounds much sexier. Let's stick with that!
-
Rosamund Pike: I feel quite anonymous when I want to be. It's good. I feel I've got a good balance. I can still get on and live my life and move around; no one bothers me.
-

Rosamund Pike: You have to self-edit all the time, at least until you are very old. Ideally, as an actress, you want some exposé at the end of your life and, before that, no one knowing anything about you.
-
Rosamund Pike: I am still romantic about theatre, about the idea of a mystery happening backstage to make something happen out there. I get goosebumps whenever I step on the Old Vic stage. It's the adrenaline rush, the quickening of the heart. It's like a drug.
-
Rosamund Pike: I was very much not beautiful as a child. I was very strange-looking and often mistaken for a boy. And any part I have got, I think has been because of some quality I've got that I can't see, rather than my looks.
-
Rosamund Pike: I find them quite shocking actually, these women that seem to be motivated entirely by career and money, and have no real intimacy with anybody or personal involvement with what they do. It's all a kind of professional kick.
-
Rosamund Pike: A view that's been held for a long time is that the best way to prove oneself as an actor is to play the grittiest roles out there. I don't agree with that.
-
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'm probably not going to play a junkie and that's OK because there are other people who will do it better.
-
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.
