More quotes by Jodie Foster
If you had been a public figure from the time you were a toddler, if you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, than maybe to you might value privacy above all else. I have given everything up there from the time that I was three-years old. That's reality show enough, don't you think?
Jodie Foster
In the end, winning is sleeping better.
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
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've only been to Dublin once, and I had a great time. I got completely soaked because it was rainy.
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'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
Casting is a long process for me. I take a lot of time.
Jodie Foster
Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.
Jodie Foster
I was a literature major in college and that was my thing, books.
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
My kids are young and my life with them is really stimulating and really full and significant.
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
People are always surprised when I say that I'm an atheist.
Jodie Foster
There is no direct evidence, so how could you ask me to believe in God.
Jodie Foster
Interestingly, when you do films, sometimes you have conscious reasons, things that you were looking for, or stuff that you were trying to do. And then, you see the film and you think, Wow, it ended up being something totally different!
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 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.

Caitriona Balfe, who is Irish, is also in my movie. I asked her to play her Irish accent in the movie, but her own brogue is so faint that I had to keep pumping it up.
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.
