Oscar-winning star Jodie Foster is clearing up some misconceptions. Contrary to what people may think, she isn’t intimidating or “this deadly serious person” many imagine her to be.
“It’s all about image,” the 61-year-old actress and director says. “It is true that I am drawn, as both an actor and a filmmaker, to the intelligent protagonist, because that is me. I’m not weak. I see no point in being weak and I guess that could be intimidating to some.
“But people also assume that I am genteel and polite – and I can have a filthy mouth. I’m basically a mass of contradictions.”
