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.

More quotes by Sigourney Weaver
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.
Sigourney Weaver
I'd be more interested in doing a smaller, character driven thing, rather than another action picture.
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
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 always find it particularly difficult to work in New York because there are so many things to do.

Only someone who believes in marriage would be married five times.

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 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
Don't depend on other people's encouragement. It's never enough and never when you need it.
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
People are amazed that I do comedy. I always did comedy.
Sigourney Weaver
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.
Sigourney Weaver
I had always done theater in extracurricular ways. I'd never been a drama major.
Sigourney Weaver
In the past, 'Avatar' would have won because Oscar voters loved to hand out awards to big productions, like 'Ben-Hur.' Today it's fashionable to give the Oscar to a small movie that nobody saw.
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
For the camera, particularly, I feel like - I think that, as human faces become older, they become more interesting.
