Here's a vice: I say yes to too many things. I wish I had the guilty pleasure of saying no. My goal is to try to do less, but more fully.

More quotes by Sigourney Weaver
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.
Sigourney Weaver
I'd rather have a small part in a movie I love than a bigger part in one I don't care about.
Sigourney Weaver
James Cameron thinks we can do anything. He'll let you try anything. There are very few geniuses in the world, let alone in our business, and he's certainly one of them.
Sigourney Weaver
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.
Sigourney Weaver
Only someone who believes in marriage would be married five times.

I was at an all-girls' school, so there were a lot of us who were really awkward. I was this tall when I was 11, so I was really awkward and self-conscious. No one would really have wanted to be mean to me. I was too unimportant.
Sigourney Weaver
I love working quickly. I don't like to do thousands of takes, and I don't want to do thousands of set ups.
Sigourney Weaver
Secretly, I had always wanted to go to Vegas, and have my own really bad act!
Sigourney Weaver
Art school is a very difficult thing to run in a generous, humane way, because academic power is somehow very corrupting.
Sigourney Weaver
For the camera, particularly, I feel like - I think that, as human faces become older, they become more interesting.
Sigourney Weaver
It's very hard to find a good comedy. I prefer doing comedy far over anything else because I think they're actually more profound. But finding a good one and a great ensemble is very difficult to do and I'm delighted that in these particular times there is so much interest in comedy and that comedy is having so much success.
Sigourney Weaver
I'm no Ripley. I had doubts that I could play her as strongly as she had to be played, but I must say that it was fun exploring that side of myself. Women don't get to do that very often.
Sigourney Weaver
When you're young, there's so much that you can't take in. It's pouring over you like a waterfall. When you're older, it's less intense, but you're able to reach out and drink it. I love being older.
Sigourney Weaver
It's rare when you have everything going perfectly all at the same time.
Sigourney Weaver
After I left Yale, we were all doing these mad plays off - off Broadway. And I got back to that feeling I had from college, of everyone making up in front of one cracked mirror, which is what I loved - the scrappy theater idea. I think off-off Broadway healed me, made me an actor again, and I was in so many different crazy shows.

What I love about Neill's Blomkamp work is that his stories are small human stories. But what's interesting about Neill's movies is that they're set in the future but they're so incredibly timely that it feels like maybe in the present in the next dimension. It feels like it's happening now. The universe is very recognizable, in many ways.
Sigourney Weaver
Someday hopefully it won’t be necessary to allocate a special evening to celebrate where we are and how far we’ve come…someday women writers, producers and crew members will be so commonplace, and roles and salaries for actresses will outstrip those for men, and pigs will fly.
Sigourney Weaver
I have a very commercial appetite. I don't like to do high-brow things.
Sigourney Weaver
I really enjoy working with younger actors. I just feel like we're all peers together.
Sigourney Weaver
I love the role of Ripley.
