Over the last several months, Kurt Andersen has been asking guests about their memories of September 11, 2001. Where were they that day, and did the events change their lives? What changes have they seen in American culture? How did it all affect their work?
For most, a creative response took time to develop — often years.
Michael Stipe, Björk, Jodie Foster, and others share how they made sense of 9/11.
Jodie Foster spent several years of her childhood in Europe, and has spent a lot of time there since then. She says she's surprised when people there claim that she's not "a real American."

(Jodie Foster on Studio 360 - May 13, 2011)
