I'm not interested in being perfect when im older. Im interested in having a narrative. It's the narrative that's really the most beautiful thing about women.

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.

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

I saw leaving college as an opportunity to do something different with my life. I always thought that becoming an academic was going to be my path.

So, yes, there's nothing I love more than listening to directors talk about their movies.
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.

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?

I didn't work very much when they were young, and I had the luxury to be able to do that. Most people can't.
Jodie Foster

All the movies that I make in some ways have to be the story of my life. There are different chapters in my life.

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.

The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
Jodie Foster
Image
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

I can't imagine ever not doing [acting]. I would feel like I would have lost a limb. But I am older now, and sometimes I wonder who I would have been and what about me would have changed had I not had these experiences as a young person

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!

I've worked with Neil Jordan, who I really adore. We did The Brave One [2007] together.

There is no direct evidence, so how could you ask me to believe in God.

Where I have problems is when I am in the midst of doing something that I am completely focused on, and then I am asked to buy shoes or something.
