Pike appears on the cover of the February 2015 issue of Vanity Fair magazine. She talks about her partner Robie Uniacke, strange fan encounters, and the sex scene in Gone Girls with Harris.

I spent more time in front of the camera on that film than in my entire career to date, because he’s shooting five to six hours of footage a day, and over a hundred days shooting—that mounts up.

gone-girl-rosamund-pike-glamour-magazinePike appears on the cover of the October 2014 issue of Glamour magazine. She talks about sex scenes, doing magazine covers while pregnant, and doing kids and career at once.

The question is really why do so many women’s careers take off just as they have children?

I was unbelievably excited and unbelievably scared. You suddenly feel so small. I thought, ‘I’m embarking on this thing I’ve always wanted.’ … Someone is giving me that chance, which is something I’ve wanted since I’ve been a tiny girl.

I do remember saying to David, ‘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.
