Jodie Foster Movie Quotations

I think every movie changes me and is life changing, especially movies you direct.

I just want to make movies. I really love movies. I want to be involved with them.

I don't make movies because I love to act. I make movies because I like to make movies, and I like to be a part of that process.

I had a certain career as an actor that I think was quite personal as well, and had a lot of integrity, but I wasn't writing my own things or directing my own movies.

It doesn't feel like a long time to me. My life is full. I have new priorities. I've been working a long time, so now I do movies for a different reason than I did for much of my career.

I think I'm drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act.

I'm interested in directing movies about situations that I've lived, so they are almost a personal essay about what I've come to believe in.

The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.

I don't direct so that I can have an identity and so I can go on to CGI movies. I had a big identity as an actor, and that's not what I'm looking for from directing. Directing is a whole different goal.

The world is littered with movies about people that are depressed that either did not come out or are not successful.

I do almost all my movies in French. I dub them.
