Jodie Foster talks about kids, life and love...
I'm sure if Jodie Foster didn't have movies to promote, she'd shy away from doing interviews like the one that appears on the cover of Sunday's Parade. The cool site JustJared.com featured some curious excerpts today:
On protecting her kids, Charles Bernard Foster, 9, and Kit Bernard Foster, 6, from the spotlight: “I do what I can. We try not to go out at night or go places where there’ll be 20 photographers. I try to minimize their exposure to assaults.”
On being tight-lipped about her personal life: “I don’t think there is any good thing about fame. In this business, in order to care for yourself and the people you love, you have to separate your professional life from your personal life.”
And here's the real surprise:
On having not yet fallen in love: “Oh, my life is basically from the head up. I’m definitely not proud of that. I’m very analytical.”
I assuming that last answer was taken out on context since Jodie is in a longtime relationship with Cydney Bernard who she. for the first time anyone can recall, at a breakfast for Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment in December.
I was there, broke the story and believed it was Jodie's way of acknowledging in a public what she never discusses in interviews.

Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
