Jodie Foster recently complained that Gen Z are \u2018really annoying<\/a>\u2019 to work with because they don\u2019t show up until 10:30 a.m. or use proper grammar\u2014but now, the Oscar-winning actress has confessed that she wishes she had one particular trait of the younger generation when she was starting out.<\/p>\n

\n

During a Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/em> roundtable, she revealed that the one thing she wished she had known at the beginning of her career was that \u201d you can say no.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor whatever reason, I didn\u2019t know that when I was young, that I could say no,\u201d the 61-year-old True Detective<\/em> star said before praising the latest cohort of workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s good about this new generation; they\u2019re very comfortable with saying no,\u201d she added. \u201cVery, very good at setting boundaries and going, \u2018I don\u2019t like that\u2019 and \u2018I want to do this.\u2019 And I didn\u2019t know that was possible when I was young.\u201d<\/p>\n

She sat alongside stars Brie Larson, Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, Sof\u00eda Vergara, Naomi Watts, and Anna Sawai, who could be seen nodding in agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
