More quotes by Sigourney Weaver
It's rare when you have everything going perfectly all at the same time.
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
Usually it's the guys that don't follow you around, who you're attracted to!
Sigourney Weaver
I had always done theater in extracurricular ways. I'd never been a drama major.
Sigourney Weaver
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 still am in touch with several friends from high school. I don't go to reunions much. I'm afraid that if I go back to the school, they'll suddenly go, 'You know what? We've checked the records and you still have one more French class. Get back in here.'
Sigourney Weaver
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
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
My husband is from Hawaii and his father who was also born in Hawaii was a teenager when Pearl Harbor happened, right before church and he ran up and got on the roof of his grandfather's house and watched the planes go over.
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
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.
Sigourney Weaver
I love the role of Ripley.
Sigourney Weaver
Don't depend on other people's encouragement. It's never enough and never when you need it.
Sigourney Weaver
Secretly, I had always wanted to go to Vegas, and have my own really bad act!
Sigourney Weaver
My mother said, Pack your bags and leave. And my father said, I've already paid for a year and a half - why don't you stay and get the degree? And I said, That's a good idea, because then I can at least run a theater even though I have no talent, and I'll never be an actor. It's my fault that I believed them.
Sigourney Weaver
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.
Sigourney Weaver
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
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.
Sigourney Weaver
It's such a nice change to get to play a wretched, shallow, mergers-and-acquisitions woman. My true colors come out.
Sigourney Weaver
I always find it particularly difficult to work in New York because there are so many things to do.
