Jodie Foster Quotes

I’ve worked with Neil Jordan, who I really adore. We did The Brave One [2007] together Picture Quote #1

I made, like, five movies while I was in college. I think they just weren’t memorable movies. I’ve taken breaks as the years have gone on - I burn out every once in a while Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think every movie changes me and is life changing, especially movies you direct Picture Quote #1

There are conscious reasons and unconscious reasons why I pick something. You know, I have to be moved by the story and usually that means it has to touch me in some kind of personal place Picture Quote #1

I want to aspire to something like what Denzel Washington does, which is try to find scripts written for white actors - or Jodie Foster, who reads scripts for male actors Picture Quote #1

The world is littered with movies about people that are depressed that either did not come out or are not successful Picture Quote #1

It’s very important to distinguish between chemical depression that requires medication and talk therapy Picture Quote #1

I don’t direct so that I can have an identity and so I can go on to CGI movies. I had a big identity as an actor, and that’s not what I’m looking for from directing. Directing is a whole different goal Picture Quote #1

I like to be in a different place when I make a movie so that I can’t really focus on anything else, and that is your world Picture Quote #1

I’m interested in directing movies about situations that I’ve lived, so they are almost a personal essay about what I’ve come to believe in Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think I’m drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act Picture Quote #1

Every movie that I’ve had to really knock down the door for has been an enormous success for me. Not just like a financial success but a real personal success Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You develop a third eye where you kind of know where they are in a room at all times but no matter how vigilant you are as a parent, at some point, you’ll look around a room and can’t find them and there’s a searing pain that goes through your body Picture Quote #1

It’s very hard for me to get a new car. It’s really hard for me to get a new house. It’s really hard for me to move on from the things that give me stability Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Knowing what paint a painter uses or having an understanding of where he was in the history of where he came from doesn’t hurt your appreciation of the painting Picture Quote #1

I think an artist’s responsibility is more complex than people realize Picture Quote #1

I want to be inspiring to myself, to my kids, my family, and my friends Picture Quote #1

I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago in the stone age Picture Quote #1
