During an interview with The Guardian, the Silence of the Lambs star explained that she has experienced bad times with people from the post-millennial generation, however, she is interested in supporting some young actors who are emerging in the industry.
"They're really annoying, especially in the workplace. They say, 'No, I'm not sorry today, I'm coming in at 10:30 a.m.' Or, in emails, I tell them that this is all grammatically incorrect, maybe Didn't you check your spelling? And they tell me: 'Why would I do that? Isn't that something limiting?'" he exemplified.
Although the actress made her opinion known on the matter, it does not mean that all young people in general bother her, as she highlighted to the publication the talent of Bella Ramsey, 20, who has gained fame for her participation in series such as Game of Thrones. Thrones and The Last Of Us, and chose to present it at an event in Hollywood.
When asked for advice for youth, Foster said, "They need to learn to relax, to not think about it so much, to come up with something that is theirs. I can help them find that, which is much more fun than being, with all the pressure behind, the protagonist of the story".
The winner of two Oscars added that her career in film has been due to more than just the purpose of entertaining, asking the public to give other types of projects a chance.
"I hope people get tired of it soon. The good ones, like Iron Man, Black Panther, The Matrix, amaze me and I've let myself be carried away by their entertainment, but that's not why I became an actress. And those movies don't change my life. Hopefully there's room for everything else.
