Otherness is a big thing for me. I'm always drawn to characters that live lives that I couldn't lead.

'Taxi Driver' was the best thi...

'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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

Acting just happens to be my skill, but I think I would probably be just as happy being a technician or entering into the film business in some other way.

Jodie Foster 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

Acting, for me, is exhausting....

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

Any actor working a long time ...

Any actor working a long time should know how a shot is set up, where to place themselves, how to handle the lines. I'm a member of the crew, like the best boy, the electrician. What I'm good at is making eyes at the camera.

Jodie Foster 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

As an actor, I'm always playing solitary characters. But as a director, I'm always making ensemble movies, which focus on lots of people's lives and how they intertwine.

Jodie Foster 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

As an actor, I'm attracted to ...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

As I've said before, and I sti...

As I've said before, and I still hold to, I truly am the most boring person alive. And if there was a great investigation to be found at the end of the resume, it would be, the most boring person alive.

Jodie Foster 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

Boys are easy. I mean, there a...

Boys are easy. I mean, there are just a lot of bruises when they're young. With boys, you get a lot of accidental jabs in the eye and stepping on your feet, and those tantrums they cause when they don't want to leave the toy store.

Jodie Foster 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

Everybody reads for me. I was ...

Everybody reads for me. I was never weird about that. I never minded coming in and reading. They should know if I'm the right person, and I should know if I want to do a movie.

Jodie Foster 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

I don't have a burning desire ...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

I don't like it when reviews a...

I don't like it when reviews aren't about the movie. When they're about how much money somebody made, or who they're sleeping with, or if they got the job via some connection, or about how Fox is putting X amount of dollars into it.

Jodie Foster 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

I had a prodigious life, living in a grown-up world when I was a child. But I think my abilities were about perceptiveness, and they were about examining psychology and examining people and relationships.

Jodie Foster 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

I like dramas. I've always liked dramas. And I'm a pretty light person. I don't consider myself a very dramatic person. But I do like doing that onscreen.

Jodie Foster 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

I make movies about people in ...

I make movies about people in spiritual crisis because it's a way for me to spend the time, the energy, the focus and the obsession to come to terms with my own spiritual crisis.

Jodie Foster 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

I think anybody over 30 plays ...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

I was one of those avid movieg...

I was one of those avid moviegoers as a kid, and we didn't have video, so we went to see everything five times. I went to see every foreign film playing in my town. As times went on, I watched a lot less films. I have a different film school now. My film school now is my life experience.

Jodie Foster 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

I wish that I spoke more langu...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

If I make two movies my entire...

If I make two movies my entire life, and they're two movies that - whether they make a lot of money or two people go to see them - they speak of me, then I consider them incredibly successful. I don't need to be Steven Spielberg.

Jodie Foster 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

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.
