I really enjoy working with younger actors. I just feel like we're all peers together.
Sigourney Weaver
Image
One of the reasons I did this, because I wasn't really looking for another science fiction film, was that my daughter can see it. She's 9 and it's really a good film for all ages.

Image
Sometimes you trust someone who turns out not to be honest. There are a lot of things that happen in life that don't turn out the way you're given the impression that they will. And I think that's all kind of a con. But I think we've probably all been hurt.

Image
I have always been uncomfortable with a series of movies. I hate that word 'franchise' - it always makes me think of French fries. What I felt each time was that we were going for broke, that this was going to be the last in the series. You can't count on anything.

Secretly, I had always wanted to go to Vegas, and have my own really bad act!

Image
Acting as a career is a long term thing and that work is kind of progressive and you can build on a career. It's part of the great tradition of the theater to me.

Image
I love working quickly. I don't like to do thousands of takes, and I don't want to do thousands of set ups.

Image
I am more of a New Yorker than ever and just actually, sometimes I fantasize about living somewhere else, where it's maybe not quite so crowded or stressful, blah, blah, blah and after September 11th, I guess I could just not imagine living anywhere else.

I love the role of Ripley.

I actually have a long apology letter from Robert Brustein, saying, I'm so sorry this happened to you. I didn't realize the people who were running the acting department at the drama school hated actors. They did. And they were fired when I graduated.

Image
Some of the most intense affairs are between actors and characters. There's a fire in the human heart and we jump into it with the same obsession as we have with our lovers.
Sigourney Weaver
Image
I worked hard and made my own way, just as my father had. And just, I'm sure, as he hoped I would. I learned, from observing him, the satisfaction that comes from striving and seeing a dream fulfilled.

Image
With Alien, because we always use a different director, each one kind of stands on its own. So I guess it's possible for them to make another one, but we have no plans.
Sigourney Weaver
Image
I love playing an alien.

Image
When I look around the world, I don't see too many damsels in distress. If they're a damsel in distress, they're manipulating some guy to help them.

Image
I'd rather have a small part in a movie I love than a bigger part in one I don't care about.

Don't depend on other people's encouragement. It's never enough and never when you need it.

My father was always very interested in space. I watch Star Trek and all those things, but I always had a different picture in my mind... maybe closer to Alien. I don't see it in space as much as I do see it in different planets, with each having its own strange characters.
Sigourney Weaver
Image
I'm always the last person they go to with a sequel, because I'm the most skeptical. You know, I'm very proud of what we've done, and I don't want to screw up our series.

Usually it's the guys that don't follow you around, who you're attracted to!
