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.

Pike 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? Is it because you are risking everything in your relationship and the risk taker in you carries through into your professional life? You have less time to worry and overanalyze—maybe that’s it. Or the huntress instinct to provide for your family is awoken. [Either way,] with children you spend so much time reexperiencing the world as a child experiences it, and that has a nourishing effect on your imagination—in my job, imagination is key.

Variety cover
Pike appears on the cover of September’s Variety. She talks about paying her way through drama school, appearing naked in Hitchcock Blonde, working with Fincher, and plans to take a break from acting to have her second child. On the Gone Girl role that A-list actresses from Reese Witherspoon to Olivia Wilde had wanted:
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.

Pike appears on the cover of the May 2014 issue of W magazine. She talks about her role in Gone Girl and being chosen by David Fincher.
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.
