Jodie Foster sees experiences while filming that she cannot share with anyone. And sometimes feels lonely.
Hamburg – Oscar winner Jodie Foster (58, “The Silence of the Lambs”) feels that her job is, in her own words, a lonely occupation.
“As an artist, you always try to communicate:“ See, that’s what I am. Let me express who I am, who is this character that I play “, said the US actress of the weekly newspaper” Die Zeit “(Thursday). “At the same time, it’s an incredibly lonely job where you lie in front of 75 people in a pool full of fake blood and you can’t share this experience with anyone.” There is a nice dialectic to saying: “You can have it. But it’s mine alone. “”
Her collaboration with director Martin Scorsese on “Taxi Driver” (1976) was very important to her: “Before that, I thought acting was just stupid: I was given things to read and recite. Not a big challenge. ”The role made it clear to her that playing isn’t just about appearing as naturally as possible. “It was overwhelming to understand that you can create a character.” Then she realized “that this is what I wanted to do in life”.
Foster was honored with a palm of honor for her life’s work at the 74th International Film Festival in Cannes, France, last week. dpa
