Jodie Foster released the following statement, as reprinted by Variety:
"I am heart-broken to lose a friend, a mentor, a guy so singular and dynamic you'd have to design a hurricaine to contain him. Jonathan was as quirky as his comedies and as deep as his dramas. He was pure energy, the unstoppable cheerleader for anyone creative. Just as passionate about music as he was about art, he was and will always be a champion of the soul. JD, most beloved, something wild, brother of love, director of the lambs. Love that guy. Love him so much."
