Jodie Foster
Image
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
Image
I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.
Jodie Foster
Image
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
Image
Cruelty might be very human and very cultural, but it is not acceptable and it is not an option.
Jodie Foster
Image
I like to nap. I do like to sleep. Sometimes I sleep in between takes.
Jodie Foster
