More quotes by Jodie Foster
I don't know why people think child actresses in particular are screwed up. I see kids everywhere who are totally bored. I've never been bored a day in my life.
Jodie Foster
What do I do to live? What do I do to be vital? The answer is always creativity the answer is always art.
Jodie Foster
I had to take my makeup off at work every night. I wasn't allowed to do it at home because my mom said that when your work day is done, you're done with work.

I'd prefer not to act in the film I'm directing. I think, though, as an actor, you do learn how to turn things on and off quickly and kind of compartmentalize. You learn to accommodate the camera and the other actors, to notice where the boom is and where you mark is, and be able to repeat something a few times.

There are 400 billion stars out there, just in our galaxy alone. If just one out of a million of those had planets, and just one in a million of those had life, and just one out of a million of those had intelligent life, there would be literally millions of civilizations out there.
Jodie Foster
I wish that I spoke more languages. I speak a couple languages, but not well enough to really dub myself. French is really the only one, and it's a difficult thing.
Jodie Foster
I don't need to be Tom Cruise. I just need to work forever.
Jodie Foster
If you had been a public figure from the time you were a toddler, if you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, than maybe to you might value privacy above all else. I have given everything up there from the time that I was three-years old. That's reality show enough, don't you think?
Jodie Foster
My kids are young and my life with them is really stimulating and really full and significant.
Jodie Foster
I think there is something to being curious about your choices, but not wanting to kind of pierce the bubble of them, because it takes away from the act of discovering.
Jodie Foster
Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.
Jodie Foster
It was a weird moment in my life and a weird experience [doing a theater]. It made me think, Gee, I don't know if I ever want to do this again. And I love theater. I love going. I love the experience of theater. But I am not sure it's for me.
Jodie Foster
I love European movies and I kind of grew up on European films.
Jodie Foster
It's very important to distinguish between chemical depression that requires medication and talk therapy.
