Jodie Foster

You know, I was a head first person.

And so I've always in this job, especially a job that's very emotional and physical, I've always been sort of juggling, like, where is the space?

Where is the space for my head?

And how do these two things work together?

Someone told me once- Yeah, it's admin, a lot of admin.

That's true.

Some of it is choosing, but a lot of it is how you juggle the difference between intention and freedom.

I have lots of plans.

So as a director, I'm in my hotel room all by myself.

I got lots of plans.

And then I come there and it's raining.

And, you know, the guy I hired to play the priest is, you know, drunk or.

And I'm sorry.

One time you hire me.

But there's it's that meditation of saying like, like, OK, now what?

So what if you know, what if what if the priest was drunk?

Or what if we no longer have a priest because I just fired him?

You know, you start having to have inspiration and making decisions in the moment where you collaborate with 175 people, whatever the energy is that's on the set.

It's not just the actors.

It's also all the people that are doing the various jobs bring their expertise, but also maybe even their past, you know, their relationships with their parents.
