Jodie Foster won her first Oscar as a 27-year-old for her lead role in The Accused.

Now, the 53-year-old actress appears to be focussing on her passion for directing and has hinted at her hopes to add to her Academy Award collection with a trophy for her work behind the camera.

However, the Money Monster director and two-time Oscar winner admitted to E! News Australia host, Ksenjia Lukich: 'It's definitely not something you can aim for'.

In an interview from the movie's Australian premiere on Monday, which aired on Saturday, the film veteran suggested her priority was in her choice of projects over possible awards.

'I'm young as a director - I've really only made four films,' Jodie said, adding: 'I get to have a different kid of career as a director really, to make movies that are really meaningful to me'.

The actress and director also detailed the mood on the set of her financial thriller, noting: 'It's never been tense on-set for me, no matter what kind of movie I'm making.

'It was a big jigsaw puzzle, so I was busy, I was very busy. It's hard to make a movie where it all happens in real time - where one experience is experienced by so many people at once,' Jodie added.

Second win! The actress followed up with another Academy Award in 1992 for her role in Silence Of The Lambs

The two-time Oscar winner was recently in Australia promoting her new film Money Monster, starring big names George Clooney and Julia Roberts.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on the red carpet at the premier in Sydney on Monday, Jodie discussed the casting process, saying Jack O’Connell was not her first choice.

The 25-year-old, who plays a disgruntled investor who takes George Clooney’s character hostage, has to do his audition over Skype to get the role.

‘He’s very British and he’s very young and my idea for the role was someone from Queens [New York City] who was 35 or 40,’ Foster said.

‘But the second I saw him I was blown away and couldn't imagine anybody else.’

The industry veteran, who began acting as a three year old, marks 50 years in showbusiness this year, with the child star accepting her star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame in May.
