Casting is a long process for me. I take a lot of time.

Image
I love European movies and I kind of grew up on European films.

By the first week of shooting, you know exactly where your film is heading based on the psychology of your director.

How could you ask me to believe in God when there's absolutely no evidence that I can see? I do believe in the beauty and the awe-inspiring mystery of the science that's out there that we haven't discovered yet, that there are scientific explanations for phenomena that we call mystical because we don't know any better.

In a weird way, that's the beauty of being an actor. You get to live out things that you're afraid of, and you get to say, 'Well, maybe I can get to the end of it and survive it intact and I can be the hero of my own story.' It's kind of a way of exorcising fear.

My kids are young and my life with them is really stimulating and really full and significant.

Jodie Foster
Image
I prefer to commit 100 per cent to a movie and make fewer films, because it takes over your life.

Image
People are always surprised when I say that I'm an atheist.
Jodie Foster

There is no direct evidence, so how could you ask me to believe in God.
Jodie Foster
Image
As an actor, I'm attracted to drama as a director, it's humor - because it's the story of my life, and I can't be that serious about it. Being alone is a big theme in all my movies, both as a director and as an actress.
Jodie Foster
Image
I didn't grow up really wanting to be an actor. I don't remember ever not being an actor.
Jodie Foster
Image
But the reason I became, why I wanted to be in the business was because there was Midnight Cowboy.
Jodie Foster
Image
Interestingly, when you do films, sometimes you have conscious reasons, things that you were looking for, or stuff that you were trying to do. And then, you see the film and you think, Wow, it ended up being something totally different!
Jodie Foster
Image
The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
Jodie Foster
Image
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.

I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.

Cruelty might be very human and very cultural, but it is not acceptable and it is not an option.
