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

More quotes by 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
I suppose that's my one little secret, the secret of my success.
Jodie Foster
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.
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
I'm kind of a chatterbox and I talk really fast.
Jodie Foster
I've only been to Dublin once, and I had a great time. I got completely soaked because it was rainy.
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.

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
Now apparently I'm told that every celebrity is expected to honour the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a prime-time reality show.
Jodie Foster
I didn't grow up really wanting to be an actor. I don't remember ever not being an actor.
Jodie Foster
I've always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse.
Jodie Foster
Casting is a long process for me. I take a lot of time.
Jodie Foster
But the reason I became, why I wanted to be in the business was because there was Midnight Cowboy.
Jodie Foster
Part of me longs to do a job where there's not a gray area.
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
Just to set the record straight, a salary for a given on-screen performance does not include the right to invade anyone’s privacy, to destroy someone’s sense of self.
Jodie Foster
I've worked with Neil Jordan, who I really adore. We did The Brave One [2007] together.
Jodie Foster
There are 400 billion stars out there, just in our galaxy alone. If just one out of a million of those had planets, and just one in a million of those had life, and just one out of a million of those had intelligent life, there would be literally millions of civilizations out there.
Jodie Foster
I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.
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.
