Quote by Jodie Foster

I fantasize about having a manual job where I can come home at night, read a book and not feel responsible for what will happen the next day.

I fantasize about having a manual job where I can come home

Summary

This quote reflects a desire for a simpler and more predictable lifestyle. The speaker yearns for a manual job, perhaps one that involves physical labor, as a contrast to mentally demanding and high-stress occupations. They long for a work-life balance that allows them to disconnect from their responsibilities at the end of the day. The desire to read a book and not be burdened by thoughts or worries about the unknown future indicates a craving for a sense of control and peace in their personal life.
