Actress Jessica Chastain says she may take a break from acting for sometime and focus on other aspects of filmmaking.

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.
 

"I want to disappear into the characters I'm playing and not have the audience say, 'Oh, she's going through a divorce right now.
