More quotes by Jodie Foster
I suppose that's my one little secret, the secret of my success.
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
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
The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
Jodie Foster
Cruelty might be very human and very cultural, but it is not acceptable and it is not an option.
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
I don't know why people think child actresses in particular are screwed up. I see kids everywhere who are totally bored. I've never been bored a day in my life.
Jodie Foster
I've always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse.
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 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'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.
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 was a literature major in college and that was my thing, books.
Jodie Foster
Casting is a long process for me. I take a lot of time.
Jodie Foster
We think, If I have more money, I am more valuable. If I make more money, I am more valuable. It's all sort of wound up with this problem that humans have with their failure.
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
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
I did a couple of plays in junior high school, maybe high school, and then I did a play in college.
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
Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.
Jodie Foster
