This is one reason why I love listening to Jodi Foster being interviewed. She has to be one of the most analytical actors out there when it comes to the characters she plays. She slices, dices and picks her characters to pieces. I'm amazed at how much thought she puts into the motivations and back stories of her characters. It's not always about the dialogue; it's about all the little factors that flesh the character out. Listening to Jodi speak about character is like a mini-workshop.
