More quotes by Jodie Foster
You guys might be surprised, but I am not Honey Boo Boo Child.
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
But the reason I became, why I wanted to be in the business was because there was Midnight Cowboy.
Jodie Foster
There is no doubt that each of us is born an individual. Why is it then that so many of us die carbon copies?
Jodie Foster
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.
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
Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.
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
Part of me longs to do a job where there's not a gray area.
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.
Jodie Foster

Jodie Foster
I fantasize about having a manual job where I can come home at night, read a book and not feel responsible for what will happen the next day.
Jodie Foster
I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age.
Jodie Foster
What do I do to live? What do I do to be vital? The answer is always creativity the answer is always art.
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
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
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
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
In the end, winning is sleeping better.
Jodie Foster
The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
