More quotes by Jodie Foster
The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
Jodie Foster
I've worked with Neil Jordan, who I really adore. We did The Brave One [2007] together.
Jodie Foster
I've always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse.
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
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
It's very important to distinguish between chemical depression that requires medication and talk therapy.
Jodie Foster
I like dramas. I've always liked dramas. And I'm a pretty light person. I don't consider myself a very dramatic person. But I do like doing that onscreen.
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
People are always surprised when I say that I'm an atheist.
Jodie Foster
I've got that Irish thing going on. Lots of Irish in my background.
Jodie Foster
I think Anna and the King is a look at Asia from the Asian perspective, reflecting the Asian experience, which is very rare.
Jodie Foster
I absolutely love religions and the rituals. Even though I don't believe in God, we celebrate pretty much every religion in our family with the kids.
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 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 already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age.
Jodie Foster
Cruelty might be very human and very cultural, but it is not acceptable and it is not an option.
Jodie Foster
I don't have a burning desire to act strangely enough. I don't know that if I hadn't been an actor as a young person, I don't know that I ever would have chosen this because it's not really my personality.
Jodie Foster
I prefer to commit 100 per cent to a movie and make fewer films, because it takes over your life.
Jodie Foster
I don't need to be Tom Cruise. I just need to work forever.
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.
