Adolescence is a tough one to be a child actor.
From Jodie Foster
Everybody reads for me. I was never weird about that. I never minded coming in and reading. They should know if I'm the right person, and I should know if I want to do a movie.
I don't see anyone walking around with a puppet on his hand in real life. Puppet therapy is very common for children. It's not something that adults take on.
But the reason I became, why I wanted to be in the business was because there was Midnight Cowboy.
Part of me longs to do a job where there's not a gray area.
The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
I don't like it when reviews aren't about the movie. When they're about how much money somebody made, or who they're sleeping with, or if they got the job via some connection, or about how Fox is putting X amount of dollars into it.
Boys are easy. I mean, there are just a lot of bruises when they're young. With boys, you get a lot of accidental jabs in the eye and stepping on your feet, and those tantrums they cause when they don't want to leave the toy store.
There are conscious reasons and unconscious reasons why I pick something. You know, I have to be moved by the story and usually that means it has to touch me in some kind of personal place.
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.
