Jodie Foster

Is this how I feel honestly or is this something that I'm trying to put on to impress people?

Or do I genuinely feel like the scene is funny or do I think that the audience will think it's funny?

So I'm going to do it for them.

You know, I'm always just trying to choose the most instinctual and the most true thing because I don't trust anything else.

As you get older, too.

I mean, the great thing that opens up as you get older is you've you spent a number of years thinking that thinking that your central story was the most interesting thing.

Right.

Because me is very interesting.

And and you, you know, especially as a woman, you know, there are things that you want to achieve at age.

you know, I wanted to make films where I was playing these central characters that were in charge of their own lives and that they weren't just adjuncts to the men, that they were fully fleshed, complicated human beings.

Yeah, yeah.

But then you reach a certain point where you get older and you're like, wow, I'm just so bored with myself.

I can't stand it.

And you really start... Haven't hit that yet.

You start realizing all the voices you left behind that you weren't listening to.

And they're all out there.

And you think, oh, my God, I can't believe I wasn't listening.

I wasn't paying any attention.

And then the real joy comes when you start saying like, oh, now that I have wisdom and I'm older.

How can I serve your story?
