About this Quote

This quote by Jodie Foster talks to the concept of borders in between work and house life. By having to take her makeup off at work every night, Jodie Foster was forced to draw a line between her work life and her home life. Her mom's guidance to refrain from doing her makeup in the house more strengthens this idea, as it recommends that when the work day is done, it is time to move on to other activities and not bring work house. This quote speaks to the value of having a healthy work-life balance, and how it can be useful to both our psychological and physical health. It likewise suggests that it is necessary to take time for ourselves and to not let work consume our lives. By making the effort to draw a line in between work and home, we can make sure that we are looking after ourselves and not letting work take over our lives.
