Jodie Foster

So you want to tell this story that nobody's ever heard before about a bunch of people that nobody's ever heard how this happened.

How can I use all of this old patriarchy that I have to serve that purpose to support you?

And that's so much more fun than anything else.

And the pressure's off of you.

Yeah, that's true.

It really, really tread over stuff that hadn't been thought about before.

And mostly it was just like the hero's journey was reserved for men.

And so it was a new thing to have a woman participate in what was a tragic, you know, has been a myth for centuries.

But all of that was in the book because the book was magical.

It just was one of those perfect texts.

And it doesn't happen very often in your life.

So I would say, you know, Silence of the Lambs for me and potentially for me, True Detective, like might have been the two greatest experiences that I've had working where you get a piece of material that is, I don't want to say inspired by the gods, but there's something happening in this material where it's just talking about something so true.

And

so, so, so mixed up with our own collective unconscious that it's undeniable.

And then everybody that climbs aboard does the best work of their life effortlessly.

Yeah.

And, um, I don't, it really never happens.

So when it does happen, like you really have to be jumping up for joy because it, when it happens, it's so easy and so much fun.

And it was such a, such a fun movie to make.

Yeah.
