More quotes by 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 feel at various times in my life that I've been at a point where I had to choose between a death sentence and a life sentence. And I want to live. What do I do to live? What do I do to be vital? And the answer is always creativity.
Jodie Foster
It's very important to distinguish between chemical depression that requires medication and talk therapy.
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
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
My definition of a friend is somebody who adores you even though they know the things you're most ashamed of.
Jodie Foster
So, yes, there's nothing I love more than listening to directors talk about their movies.
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
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 absolutely love religions and the rituals. Even though I don't believe in God, we celebrate pretty much every religion in our family with the kids.
Jodie Foster
But the reason I became, why I wanted to be in the business was because there was Midnight Cowboy.
Jodie Foster
I prefer to commit 100 per cent to a movie and make fewer films, because it takes over your life.
Jodie Foster
I'm not interested in being perfect when im older. Im interested in having a narrative. It's the narrative that's really the most beautiful thing about women.
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
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 think anybody over 30 plays parents because it happens in your thirties and so that's kind of a natural progression. But I'm definitely drawn to it. It's probably the most intense, passionate thing that happens to you as you get older.
Jodie Foster
'Taxi Driver' was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I didn't become a weirdo and squawk like a chicken.
Jodie Foster
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.
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.
