The 39-year-old actress said she would like to teach drama to budding actors or to direct her own production, reported Femalefirst.
"Maybe at some point I won't be acting. Maybe I'll be producing or directing or teaching at Juilliard.
"I feel like something's happening. I feel like a change will soon happen in my life. Maybe I won't act for a few years. I'm happy, I'm content, but I could do something else for a bit," Chastain said.
"The Martian" star said she would like the audience to know her for her work rather than her personal life.
