My father used to have an expression. He'd say, 'Joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It's about your dignity. It's about respect. It's about your place in your community.'
Quote by -Jodie Foster
If you need more than 10 rounds to hunt, and some argue they hunt with that many rounds, you shouldn't be hunting. If you can't get the deer in 3 shots, you shouldn't be hunting. You are an embarrassment.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
Our future cannot depend on the government alone. The ultimate solutions lie in the attitudes and the actions of the American people.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
Folks, I can tell you I've known eight presidents, three of them intimately.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
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.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
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.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
I never know what's going to move me. I'm always surprised. And it's always a mystery to the people who work with me.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
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.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
Most actors don't really have a director's sensibility. They have an actor's sensibility.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
I was never the ingenue or the pretty girlfriend of Tom Cruise in a movie. I didn't have that career, so I don't have to compete on that level.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
I make dark dramas, movies about people living in desperate fear who then overcome that fear and find a heroic side to themselves.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
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.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
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.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
I don't make movies because I love to act. I make movies because I like to make movies, and I like to be a part of that process.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
It's hard to get personal films off the ground, and it's hard developing them.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
I don't find acting and directing schizophrenic in any way. I find it completely easy to move between the two.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
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.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
I'd always need a creative outlet. But sometimes, I do fantasize what my life would be like if I weren't famous.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
I read more than I do anything else, probably. I read about three books a week.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
I'm a technician. I don't go for the get-into-the-role stuff. I read the lines and play the scenes.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
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.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
The movies I made when I was 14 or 15, I have a hard time looking at those. Those were the awkward years. I don't know if anybody can look at something they did when they were 14 and not wince.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
My kids are young and my life with them is really stimulating and really full and significant.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
I think Anna and the King is a look at Asia from the Asian perspective, reflecting the Asian experience, which is very rare.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
I spent a lot of time not in school, so I didn't have deep relationships with kids my own age.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
I love more than anything looking at a movie scene by scene and seeing the intention behind it.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
I have, in some ways, saved characters that have been marginalized by society by playing them - and having them still have dignity and still survive, still get through it.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
By the first week of shooting, you know exactly where your film is heading based on the psychology of your director.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
But now I really don't want to work unless I really, really care about a project.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
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.
Quote by -Jodie Foster
My mom was always late. It drove me crazy as a child. So I'm always on time - or early.
