Jodie Foster has revealed that she sees herself as a parent to the actors she directs.
The actress-turned-director explained that there are similarities between directing a movie cast and raising a child.
She told Psychologies: "I want to be a good parent who loves them unconditionally, even when they come up with bad ideas and even when they suck.
"There is a way of loving their foolish attempts and guiding them in what you think is the right direction.
"And I do think I have a particular sensitivity towards child actors because of my own experiences. As a child I certainly looked for a parent figure in my directors."
Fosters directs and stars in the film The Beaver as the wife of Mel Gibson's character, a man on the edge of madness who will only communicate with his family via a puppet.
Foster hadn't originally planned to play the leading actress but soon realised that she was most suited to the role.
She added: "I had no intention of acting in this movie but I started thinking, 'Who can I put across from Mel, saying she's going to stand by her man and fight for him - and yet go through this juncture when she realises she's put her children in jeopardy, watching their father lose his mind?'
"I was sitting and thinking about what actor is going to do that from a place of strength that doesn't feel fake and then I realised it was me."

Kristen Stewart: 'Breaking Dawn birth hits you'
Kristen Stewart has opened up about filming the birth scene in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.
Stewart, who recently shared a public kiss with Breaking Dawn co-star Robert Pattinson, spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the highly-anticipated birth scene.
"The birth is really effective, and I've heard it really hits you in the face," Stewart said.
The actress neglected to say whether the scene would be as graphic as it is in Stephenie Meyer's novel. However, Stewart did say that the scene could have been far more explicit.
She added: "It could have been shocking and grotesque, because that's how it was written in the book. I would have loved to have been puking up blood."
Breaking Dawn's wedding scene was recently filmed as well. The scene was shot with police protection following recent leaks.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 is expected to open in theatres on November 18.

Ron Howard to direct 'Amnesty'
Ron Howard has signed to direct a forthcoming film called Amnesty.
The project is based on a pitch by screenwriter Max Landis, the son of Animal House and An American Werewolf in London helmer John Landis.
Frequent Howard collaborator Universal and Brian Grazer will produce the Imagine Entertainment project, reports Variety.
Howard and Grazer have worked together on several films, including A Beautiful Mind and Apollo 13.
No details about the movie's plot have been released.
Howard previously agreed to direct an adaptation of Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
The actor-turned-filmmaker revealed in January that Mitch Hurwitz wants him to appear in the Arrested Development movie.
Taylor Lautner late for 'Twilight' wedding
Taylor Lautner's wolf boy Jacob, clutching his invitation, powers through the rain to make it to the church on time. We're hoping it's going to result in something like Dustin Hoffman's gatecrashing of Katherine Ross's wedding in The Graduate.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 opens in cinemas on November 18. See the new Taylor Lautner picture from the movie below:
Tom Cruise trying to stop Scientology movie
A rep for Tom Cruise has denied claims that the actor is trying to stop the production of a movie that could reveal "secrets" of Scientology.
Life & Style reported that Cruise has attempted to halt filming on an upcoming film called The Master, because it concerns a religion similar to Scientology and proposes to unveil details about the religion's practices.
However, Cruise's rep has called those claims "untrue", reports Gossip Cop.
There Will be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson is reportedly preparing to make a film that centres on a man called The Master - played by Philip Seymour Hoffman - who leads a faith-based organisation similar to Scientology in the 1950s.
Joaquin Phoenix was recently linked to the project in the role of Hoffman's increasingly disenchanted follower.
Cruise was reportedly approached to appear on Fox's Glee recently.
The actor is currently filming Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol

Ten of the most controversial films of all time
We take a look at some of the most controversial films that have ever graced the big screen. From canny movie bosses invoking shock-inducing publicity tactics to copycat crimes carried out after the film's release and images that caused public outcry, these are the films that whipped sections of the public up into frenzied outrage.
Monty Python's Life of Brian
It's argued that Monty Python's skewed satire was aimed more at big budget religious films than religion in general. That didn't stop massive criticism upon its release, with Catholic groups horrified at the comedy – namely the upbeat song 'Always Look On the Bright Side of Life' during a mass crucifixion.
Mary Whitehouse led the campaign against the film in 1979, with fellow campaigners picketing cinemas that dared to show the comedy classic – resulting in several towns across the UK banning the movie.
In 2009, Aberystwyth finally lifted its 30-year ban.
Aladdin
Yup, the cute Disney film with its Robin Williams-voiced Genie and general japery caused considerable offence when it was released in 1992.
The reason? The lead characters Aladdin and Jasmine were accused of being anglicised in both appearance and voice while the villains were dark skinned, had thick accents and generally played up to ugly Arab stereotypes.
Another controversy arose from one of the songs, 'Arabian Nights', which featured the line “Where they cut off your ears if they don't like your face / It's barbaric, but, hey, it's home.”
However, the video release saw the line changed to the less offensive “Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense / It's barbaric, but, hey, it's home.”
The Da Vinci Code
Ron Howard's film adaptation of 'The Da Vinci Code' was always going to have a whiff of controversy, considering the furore surrounding Dan Brown's novel. Essentially a page-turning adventure, the novel also tries to convince readers with the historic 'fact' that Jesus fathered a child.
The film received opposition from the start, with religious groups condemning the movie and urging for a boycott. Not only did it spark protests from Catholic and Opus Dei groups outside cinemas… but also vocal outrage from cinemagoers who had the misfortune of seeing the film. Their bone of contention – the endlessly boring monologues and general dullness.
Last House on the Left
Wes Craven may currently be best known for making horror films with a comedic tint like the 'Scream' series, but his debut was deemed so grotesque and nasty that only recently could you buy the uncut version in the UK.
The low budget and grisly movie, focusing on a family seeking revenge on a group of violent criminals, was also marketed brilliantly. While the film was indeed pretty difficult to sit through, the trailer did try to make it clear that it shouldn't be taken quite as seriously as many did, with the words 'It's only a movie' repeated to great effect.
A Clockwork Orange
The 1971 movie caused huge controversy following its release, particularly the rape scene featuring Malcolm McDowell attempting his own version of 'Singin' in the Rain'. Even author Anthony Burgess, whose book the film is based on, said the film was so brilliant that it might even be dangerous.
It was eventually withdrawn in Britain by its director Stanley Kubrick after the movie was blamed for a series of violent copycat incidents.
It was eventually re-released in the UK in 2000, a year after the director's death.
Child's Play 3
The 1991 movie was originally released with little fuss. However, it became notorious two years later, after it was linked to the devastating death of two-year-old James Bulger. His two ten-year-old killers were initially believed to have imitated a scene from the film, most notably splashing their victim with blue paint.
The incident sparked widespread debate about horror film video legislation. However, a police investigation later concluded that it was unlikely they had ever seen the film.
Deep Throat
The infamous X-rated adult film became a box office hit, no doubt aided by the huge furore surrounding its release in 1972.
Its lead star, Linda Lovelace, denounced the film, insisting that she was coerced into doing some of the scenes, while both conservative pundits and feminists attacked the movie.
However, it's now become such a cultural phenomenon that it spawned a fascinating 2005 documentary, 'Inside Deep Throat'.
The Birth of a Nation
It may be visually stunning and hugely influential from a technical standpoint, but D.W Griffith's 1915 Civil War drama is best known for its unbelievable racism.
Still used as a recruitment piece for the Ku Klux Klan, the film was blasted for making Klan members the heroes of the story, endorsing enslavement and its hugely negative portrayal of African Americans.
Upon its release riots broke out in several American cities, with several states refusing to show the film.
The Outlaw
Howard Hughes' western was pure B-movie schlock. So why was it one of the most notorious movies of the 1940s?
Realising that his female star Jane Russell had, erm, ample assets, Hughes made sure the camera lingered on her chest at every opportunity, and that the publicity pictures focused on her rolling about in hay.
The result? A three-year battle with the censors, and one US judge commenting that Jane Russell's cleavage “hangs over the picture like a summer thunderstorm spread out over a landscape”.
Irreversible
Gaspar Noe's unflinching tale of revenge is a hard-hitting one, packed with brutal and disorientating images. However, it's the nine-minute real-time rape of Monica Bellucci's character that caused the controversy, with many people walking out during the screening at the Cannes Film Festival.
Newsweek would blast the film, saying that it displayed “an adolescent pride in its own ugliness”.

Armie Hammer to play Lone Ranger
Armie Hammer is in talks to play the title role in Jerry Bruckheimer's film adaptation of The Lone Ranger, it has been reported.
The actor would be starring opposite Johnny Depp, who is already confirmed to play the ranger's sidekick Tonto.
Variety reports that Disney and Bruckheimer are hoping to get production started in time for a release date in 2012, despite Depp's busy schedule.
Hammer, who was in the Oscar-winning The Social Network, recently signed up to play the Prince in the forthcoming Snow White.
He recently lost out on the lead for the reboot of Superman to Stardust actor Henry Cavill.
Depp has previously promised that the Lone Ranger movie will be "really funny".
Blake Lively 'dyes hair red for film role'
Blake Lively has dyed her hair red for her upcoming film Hick.
The Gossip Girl actress debuted the new style at the Time 100 Gala in New York on Tuesday, where she told People that the transformation has helped her delve deeper into the role.
"I thought [my character] needed red hair," she explained. "It helps when you're playing a role, when I don't feel like myself. And I don't really feel like myself with red hair."
Lively will play a confidence trickster who takes a teenage girl under her wing in the movie.
She went on to confess that she is fond of the look, adding that she feels "like Ariel", the lead character from The Little Mermaid.
"I love it," she added.
Lively previously revealed that her bodyguard insisted that she become a brunette for her role in The Green Lantern.
Javier Bardem joins Stephen King's 'Dark Tower'
Javier Bardem is believed to have finally signed on to play the lead role in Ron Howard's upcoming adaptation of The Dark Tower.
Academy Award-winning actor Bardem has long been rumoured for the part of gunslinger Roland Deschain, however the actor is said to have finally agreed to terms.
The Dark Tower adaptation will reportedly consist of a film trilogy, separated by television miniseries in between the release of each film, in an effort to fully adapt Stephen King's seven-novel magnum opus.
"Bardem has signed on to the first movie and the miniseries, but the intention is that he will star in all three movies and each of the TV series," a source told the NY Post. "It's an enormous deal for an actor, but Bardem was always the first choice."
Before Bardem's involvement with the project was first reported, the likes of both Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman were said to have been considered for the film's lead.
Production on the first film in the series is due to begin this September for an expected release in May 2013.

Daniel Radcliffe 'feared more Harry Potter'
Daniel Radcliffe has confessed that he was worried J.K. Rowling might write an eighth Harry Potter book.
The actor, who plays the title role in the film franchise, became concerned for the future of the character after watching author Rowling discuss the series on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show last year.
"I was worried! I texted her. I said, 'Look, is this true? Are you writing another book?!'" he recalled to Celebuzz.
"She wrote back that she was so pleased with my performance in Harry Potter 7: Part 1 that, as a reward, she promised to never write another book about Harry."
The final instalment of the wizarding franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, will open in theatres worldwide on July 15.

Cameron Diaz: 'Bad Teacher role not funny'
Cameron Diaz has insisted that her Bad Teacher character Elizabeth Halsey is not to be laughed at.
Talking to MTV News, the actress revealed the motivation behind Elizabeth's apathetic approach to not only her teaching job but her personal life as well.
"She's miserable. She's not happy with her world, and she doesn't pretend that she is," Diaz explained. "Her pain is real. She's living a very painful existence, so there's no humour to her in this.
"She's not a good teacher. She is the opposite of good. She is a bad teacher. She is bad at teaching... She just really doesn't care. She doesn't want to be a good teacher, and so therefore, being a bad teacher really doesn't mean anything to her either."
Diaz previously confessed that she hopes to offend people with the film because she will not have to apologise.

Aliens spotted on set of 'Prometheus'?
A source has revealed that Xenomorphs may be appearing in the upcoming movie Prometheus.
Originally described as a prequel to Ridley Scott's Alien, Prometheus was labelled as an original science fiction movie in January. However, according to Alien Prequel News, Xenomorphs, the aliens from the original film, have been spotted on the set of Prometheus.
"I can confirm seeing three aliens having lunch. Not the whole costume, but blueish costumes and the unmistakable heads hanging around their shoulders," wrote an insider.
The source continued: "The alien heads were the same shape [as the Xenomorph from Alien] but no markings, only a plane (sic) bronze colour."
British actor Emun Elliott was recently cast in the sci-fi film to play a character called Chance, with Moon star Benedict Wong suggested as also being involved in the project.
Prometheus also stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron and Idris Elba.

Taylor Lautner for 'Twilight' spinoff?
Taylor Lautner has revealed that he finds the idea of a Twilight spinoff to be intriguing.
Author Stephenie Meyer recently stated that she would consider writing a further story in the supernatural series about Jacob Black and Renesmee Cullen. Lautner spoke to MTV News about the possibility of reprising the role of Jacob in a future film adaptation.
"Breaking news to me here, live, on MTV, Josh Horowitz! What's going on?" Lautner answered when asked about the potential movie.
However, the 19-year-old went on to state that he is not opposed to the idea of continuing the Twilight series.
"That would be interesting. Stephenie comes up with the craziest things. I'm sure she could go on. That's a crazy thought," he added.
Lautner recently revealed that he will be emotional at the end of the Twilight films, stating that he will probably cry.
The actor, who has previously said that he was unprepared for his Twilight fame, has revealed that he has accepted losing his privacy in order to be a movie star.
