Veteran actress Jodie Foster knows a thing or two about the media. And in the wake of her former co-star's cheating scandal (Kristen Stewart played Foster’s daughter in 2001's The Panic Room), Jodie Foster has written a detailed essay for The Daily Beast blasting critics for their treatment of Stewart.

Here are five of the best lines from Jodie Foster's rant:
1) "Lift up beautiful young people like gods and then pull them down to earth to gaze at their seams. See, they're just like us. But we seldom consider the childhoods we unknowingly destroy in the process."
2) "I’ve said it before and I will say it again: if I were a young actor today I would quit before I started."
3) "I grew to love that kid. She turned 11 during our shoot [for The Panic Room] and on her birthday I organized a mariachi band to serenade her at the taco bar while she blew out her candles. She begrudgingly danced around with a sombrero with me but soon rushed off to a basketball game with the grip and electrical departments."
4) "'She doesn’t want to be an actor when she grows up, does she?' I asked. Her mom sighed. 'Yes…unfortunately.' We both smiled and shrugged with an ambivalence born from experience. 'Can't you talk her out of it?' I offered. 'Oh, I’ve tried. She loves it. She just loves it.'"
5) On Kristen Stewart being hounded by the paparazzi: "The young woman doesn't cry. Fuck no. She doesn't look up. She’s learned. She keeps her head down, her shades on, fists in her pockets. Don't speak. Don't look. Don't cry."
