Jodie Foster quotes about
I've always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse.

I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.
I conducted a bunch of interviews for Interview magazine. They actually paid me. I think I was probably 18 or 19. I was in college and I remember feeling, like, "Wow." I had a real job, and they paid me money, and it was exciting.

I don't really think I have the personality. I am not very external. I don't want to dance on the table and do impressions. So I think that the way I approach it is really loving story. That's my first love - the words. The words and the story and how to create images. I guess I come at that as a director. I think that's much more in my personality to be a director, so that's kind of informed my acting.
So, yes, there's nothing I love more than listening to directors talk about their movies.
In the end, winning is sleeping better.
I'm kind of a chatterbox and I talk really fast.
