‘Just want to sit back for a bit’

Actor Rosamund Pike says she is thinking of going on a small break after playing intense roles in A Perfect War and Radioactive. The 39-year-old actor, who can next be seen as late war correspondent Marie Colvin in A Perfect War and then famed scientist Marie Curie in Radioactive, said she wants some time to just be herself. 'I just want to sit back for a bit. Pretending to be someone else is quite fragmentary, so it's important to just be you for a while," Pike told a magazine. The actor, however, is ready with a list of directors she wants to collaborate with in the near future. 'Roma by Alfonso Cuaron is the most beautiful piece of work. I'd love to work with him. Why not say it? " she said. —PTI
