More quotes by Sigourney Weaver
For the camera, particularly, I feel like - I think that, as human faces become older, they become more interesting.
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
I love the role of Ripley.
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.
Sigourney Weaver
I often meet young directors who, you know, had a 'Ghostbusters' picture on their wall as they were growing up. And it's really nice. It just shows how inter-generational our industry is.
Sigourney Weaver
Don't depend on other people's encouragement. It's never enough and never when you need it.
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
Usually it's the guys that don't follow you around, who you're attracted to!
Sigourney Weaver
I really enjoy working with younger actors. I just feel like we're all peers together.
Sigourney Weaver
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
I have a very commercial appetite. I don't like to do high-brow things.
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
If one is married for a long time, and one does have a family . . . It is like an energy, a wonderful fire that never goes out underneath you, to help you go out into the world and do your damnedest.
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
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
I love playing an alien.
Sigourney Weaver
It's rare when you have everything going perfectly all at the same time.
Sigourney Weaver
I feel self-doubt whether I'm doing something hard or easy.
Sigourney Weaver
I changed my name when I was about twelve because I didn't like being called Sue or Susie. I felt I needed a longer name because I was so tall. So what happened? Now everyone calls me Sig or Siggy.
