Jodie Foster

I mean, I think that my mom knew he was a great artist.

We loved Mean Streets.

We saw it three or four times.

My mom saw that I was interested in art and cinema and took me to every foreign film she could find, mostly because she wanted me to hear other languages.

But, you know, we went to very dark, interesting German films that lasted eight hours long.

And, you know, we saw...

all the French New Wave movies.

And we had long conversations about movies and what they meant.

And I think that she respected me.

This was before you were 12?

Yeah.

And some of them were inappropriate.

You know, some of them were moments I remember where she'd be like, why don't you go get, let's go get popcorn.

Because there were moments in the film that were not appropriate for a kid.

Too sexual?

Yeah.

I remember seeing Last Time in Paris.

And my mom going like, maybe this is a good time for you to go get a Coke.

Yeah, but I also think they admired her.

I think they knew that I was, I think precocious is a weird word.
