Quote

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.

More quotes by Jodie Foster

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

I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.
Jodie Foster
Image
It's very hard for me to get a new car. It's really hard for me to get a new house. It's really hard for me to move on from the things that give me stability.
Jodie Foster
Image
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.

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.

Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock do romantic comedies. I do dark dramas. I do these movies well.

There's absolutely no sort of acknowledgment or reward for this - except for the intangible of my kids growing up to be wonderful people.
Jodie Foster
Image
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.

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.

It's very important to distinguish between chemical depression that requires medication and talk therapy.

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.

Part of me longs to do a job where there's not a gray area.

I suppose that's my one little secret, the secret of my success.

I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize.

'Taxi Driver' was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I didn't become a weirdo and squawk like a chicken.

Adolescence is a tough one to be a child actor.

It was a weird moment in my life and a weird experience [doing a theater]. It made me think, Gee, I don't know if I ever want to do this again. And I love theater. I love going. I love the experience of theater. But I am not sure it's for me.
