Rosamund Pike quotes about

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.
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.
I find I clash sometimes with people who like to plan things and book you in for lunch. I'd rather someone call me up, say: 'Are you free tonight and d'you wanna go to the roller-disco? Or play pool?'

Actresses generally aren't allowed to have haircuts, because short hair isn't considered as versatile.
As a woman, you feel that you shouldn't want to better yourself against others. Ambition has become such an ugly word, hasn't it?

I'd like people to get a sense of who I am, yet I want to keep my privacy, too.
Looking back, I just think I was a really average sort of girl.
Success is freedom - scripts coming your way and getting to choose the stories you want to tell.
What I find sexy is when someone's having fun and able to look right back at you.
I remember times of anxiety, ups and downs, and times of unexpected windfalls. But my parents loved what they did. And because their work was also their hobby, it taught me that work could be fulfilling.
