Jodie Foster isn't going to jump on the ship of joining Instagram or any other form of social media anytime soon, unless her search was meticulously curated.
The actress, 61, spoke with People at the Saturn Awards and revealed that she'd be "all for" joining social media to check out the positive online reception for her show True Detective: Night Country.
However, her one requirement? If her social media was "if it was just dancing and cats," while proudly stating that she wasn't really on it anyway.

However, she did reveal that she was humbled to learn about how much love people were showing for the HBO release, the fourth in the True Detective anthology series.
"I don't have social media, so I have no idea, but I have read the reviews, so I know about the reviews, and I know how I feel, so I feel incredibly proud of this one," Jodie gushed.
Affirming that she was "more proud about this one than anything I've done in a really long time," she added: "And so I just assume that if it connects with me, it must connect with other people.
"I think I'm pretty realistic about the films that I've made. If I'm not directing it, there's only so much I can do. So you can say, I wish this had happened. You're always revising in your head, but not this one."

At the ceremony on Sunday in Burbank, California, the star was honored with the life career achievement award, and said of the moment: "This was my film school, so I was watching as a child, just watching the different directors that I worked with and trying to figure out how they managed to get the results that they were getting… and making the films at the same time.

"They're like, 'Nah, I'm not feeling it today, I'm gonna come in at 10.30am.' Or, like, 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?'"

"I do a lot of reaching out to young actresses. I'm compelled. Because it was hard growing up."
