“They’re like, ‘Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I’m gonna come in at 10.30 am’.
“Or in emails, I’ll tell them, ‘This is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling?’ And they’re like, ‘Why would I do that, isn’t that kind of limiting?’”
One of her best pieces of advice for young actors is teaching them how to relax in a role.
“They need to learn how to relax, how to not think about it so much, how to come up with something that’s theirs,” Foster said.
