Jodie foster

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.

Being understood is not the most essential thing in life.

I make dark dramas, movies about people living in desperate fear who then overcome that fear and find a heroic side to themselves.

I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.

I'm kind of a chatterbox and I talk really fast.
