More quotes by Jodie Foster
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.
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
I suppose that's my one little secret, the secret of my success.
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.
Jodie Foster
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.
Jodie Foster
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.
Jodie Foster
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
Knowing what paint a painter uses or having an understanding of where he was in the history of where he came from doesn't hurt your appreciation of the painting.
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
Look, it's terrible, I know, but weakness really, really bugs me, to the point that if there is a wounded bird on the sidewalk, I look at it and I go: I think I'll just kick it.
Jodie Foster
Being twenty-something is all about taking it in: eating it, drinking it, and spitting out the seeds later. It's about being fearless, and stupid, and dangerous, and unfocused, and abandoned. It's about being in it, not on top of it
Jodie Foster
'Taxi Driver' was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I didn't become a weirdo and squawk like a chicken.
Jodie Foster
I'm kind of a chatterbox and I talk really fast.
Jodie Foster
My kids are young and my life with them is really stimulating and really full and significant.
Jodie Foster
I think I missed all of the wonderful things ... I missed the control that you have in film, and I missed getting it right, really getting it right, the way you hope people will see it. All of the things that people love about theater - the fact that it changes every night and that it's so spontaneous - all of those things just frighten me.
Jodie Foster
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
Acting, for me, is exhausting. I'm always more energized by directing. It's more intense to direct. I can pop in and express myself, then pop out again. It's a huge passion for me.
Jodie Foster
I was a literature major in college and that was my thing, books.
Jodie Foster
I prefer to commit 100 per cent to a movie and make fewer films, because it takes over your life.
Jodie Foster
What the digital age has offered us, in terms of connectivity and transparency, is that all of these people from weird places in the world are all talking to each other, at four in the morning, and are sharing ideas. There's more openness than has ever been known, so that's a good thing.
Jodie Foster
