foster given loud reading remember review screaming
I remember reading a review that said Jodie Foster was screaming so loud to be given an Oscar, you wanted them to give it to her just so she'd stop.

I need to be home for a while. I've been working for two-and-a-half years, so I want to go back to New York with my husband and hang out with my dogs!
remake
Everything you read now is like a remake of a movie you've already seen. With independent film, things are more character-driven.

I didn't sit with paparazzi and interview them. I had been around Bruce Willis for two straight movies, so I saw the way the paparazzi follows him.

I really wanted to be nasty and mean and bad. It's so much easier than being the good girl
people certain hard
People work really hard to get to a certain point. But they have to work just as hard to stay there
school grandmother college
I went to Catholic high school, so my being in this [the craft] is not going to make my grandmother very happy. It's funny, because I was the only one who is Catholic in it. You have this thing in mass where you have to genuflect before you go into the pew, so I said you have to do this [for a scene] and they said why, and I said because you have to; I don't know why, it's a rule. Or like instinct. It's funny they set in a Catholic school. I went to St. Ignatius College Prep - "Where Modesty is our Policy."
block thinking trying
I always try to be careful when an actor who is like 70 walks onto my set at work, I don't want them to get called in five hours early or block shoot something. I think you need to treat them with respect and dignity.
suicide strong character
I don't know if directors go, 'Hey! We've got another suicide-let's call Robin Tunney! It's weird, but they're all different, and I guess it gives the characters some kind of power... At least I play women who are strong enough to take the power into their own hands! And kill themselves! So many women in films just shoot themselves in the head anyway, because they're not really there for any reason.
sexy men boss
I like watching a man boss everybody around. It's so sexy
aunt grandfather chicago
I'm from Chicago. My grandfather was a policeman, and my aunts are married to policemen.
two acting different
In acting there's two different things: You're either pitching in a scene, or you're catching.
people quality
People do eventually see something that's quality.
people crafts
The Craft was what it was. People who respond to that movie respond to it really strongly.
