EW interview
Pike is interviewed for Entertainment Weekly:
I wanted to be an actress since I was really, really small … Film wasn’t in my head; I didn’t see it as feasible. I just didn’t know anything about it. I didn’t know where film came from when I was under 10. I just thought I’d be a stage actress.
Rosamund Pike interview
Schager interviews Pike for Esquire about her role in the film Gone Girl and the work the cast and crew put into the film.
It’s every single scene. Neil Patrick Harris and I would do 35 takes of getting in and out of a car to get the right level of smoothness and then, in fact, I think that scene’s never even in the movie. You do watch David’s films back, and having now worked with him, I watch them in a different way, because I can feel the careful labor that’s gone into them. I understand it. And with voice over, too. You watch Fight Club, and the reason that voice over bores into your skull is because it’s carefully, carefully constructed. When we were doing the voice over for Gone Girl, we’d go in and get the line just how we wanted it, and if we didn’t like a single word, we’d go in and make a puncture hole and insert a different version of a single word, to get every nuance we wanted to explore. I love working in that kind of detail. It’s really thrilling.
Time Out London interview
Pike is interviewed for Time Out London about auditioning with Fincher, breaking out of her dark Gone Girl character off the set, and watching the completed film:
The second time, I said to Fincher: ‘I really like it.’ He’s like: ‘I think you need therapy.’
Telegraph interview
Pike is interviewed about Gone Girl for The Telegraph.
For me it was a just a joy to play a woman who doesn’t have to be palatable all of the time.
Rosamund Pike interview
Pike and Meyers discuss her sex scene with Harris on the film Gone Girl on Late Show with Seth Meyers.
That is when it feels highly awkward. It goes from mildly inappropriate to totally inappropriate.
W interview
Pike is interviewed for W and discusses being a Bond girl, learning to box, and moving to L.A. On her Gone Girl role:
I do remember saying to David [Fincher], ‘I know you know I have this character in me; you zeroed in on me for good reason.’ With David Fincher, it’s like being X-rayed—he sees things that you may not want anyone to see. Now I have to prove him right—I have to show the world that I’m as dark as he thinks I am.”
