– Speaking about Gen Z – a term generally used to describe those born during the late 1990s and early 2000s – Foster, 61, joked: “They’re really annoying – especially in the workplace.
“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?'”
– Speaking about the advice she’d give to young people in the industry, she said: “They need to learn how to relax, how to not think about it so much, how to come up with something that’s theirs.
“I can help them find that, which is so much more fun than being, with all the pressure behind it, the protagonist of the story.”
She has nicer things to say about women and freedom at the source.
