More quotes by 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
Jodie Foster
I've got that Irish thing going on. Lots of Irish in my background.
Jodie Foster
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.
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 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'm really not a clothes person. To me, that's just work. It's the thing I hate to do the most. I don't want to be judged in that way.
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
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
I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.
Jodie Foster
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
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
I make movies about people in spiritual crisis because it's a way for me to spend the time, the energy, the focus and the obsession to come to terms with my own spiritual crisis.
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
I love European movies and I kind of grew up on European films.
Jodie Foster
My definition of a friend is somebody who adores you even though they know the things you're most ashamed of.
Jodie Foster
I've always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse.
Jodie Foster
I didn't grow up really wanting to be an actor. I don't remember ever not being an actor.
Jodie Foster
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
I had a prodigious life, living in a grown-up world when I was a child. But I think my abilities were about perceptiveness, and they were about examining psychology and examining people and relationships.
Jodie Foster
I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize.
