“ I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize. ”
As an actor, I'm attracted to drama; as a director, it's humor - because it's the story of my life, and I can't be that serious about it. Being alone is a big theme in all my movies, both as a director and as an actress.
~ Jodie Foster
It's an interesting combination: Having a great fear of being alone, and having a desperate need for solitude and the solitary experience. That's always been a tug of war for me.
I'd always need a creative outlet. But sometimes, I do fantasize what my life would be like if I weren't famous.
I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.
