Jodie Foster

Like who wants to erase their past and become this new fantasy?

And what happens when you do that?

How do your relationships suffer?

And do you become... I think the irony is, and the film does have a lot of comedy to it, the irony is that this psychoanalyst, very Freudian psychoanalyst, which we make a lot of fun of her because of that, goes on this murder investigation thinking that her patient's been killed, potentially, and then very quickly realizes, oh no, she's just investigating herself.

So she kind of goes on through hypnosis and a number of things and starts realizing that

You know, that maybe she's not a great mom and that she, you know, there's parts of her relationship with her ex that she still has questions about.

So it's more of a self-discovery movie than it is a murder mystery.

Well, you get to do that when you're on location as an actor, because when you're on location as an actor, you're usually there for three and a half months.

If you're a director, you're there for at least six months.

If you're doing a limited series like True Detective, I was there for seven months, but the director was there for a year and a half in Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland.

So, yeah, you get to become this brand new person that's obsessed with something.

Because if you're making a show or making a movie, you're just obsessed 24-7 with this one thing.

And it's every bit of energy that you have is put into this one thing.

Yeah.

And it doesn't mean that you ever really come to this conclusion where you totally understand that culture.

You never will.

Right.

You're going to you'll always be bringing baggage from your own background and your own culture.

But that's part of it is growing and learning and evolving and changing.

So that's kind of what I do when I'm not shooting is, well, first of all, I go home and I, you know, walk the dog every single day at the same time and I eat the same thing for breakfast and I.
