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.

More quotes by 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
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
Only someone who believes in marriage would be married five times.
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
I'd be more interested in doing a smaller, character driven thing, rather than another action picture.
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
I always find it particularly difficult to work in New York because there are so many things to do.
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 love the role of Ripley.
Sigourney Weaver
Secretly, I had always wanted to go to Vegas, and have my own really bad act!
Sigourney Weaver
Most people think that animals are third-class citizens. Very few people really see animals as the others with whom we inhabit this planet. They have equal rights with us.
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 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
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
Art school is a very difficult thing to run in a generous, humane way, because academic power is somehow very corrupting.
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.
Sigourney Weaver
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.
Sigourney Weaver
People are amazed that I do comedy. I always did comedy.
Sigourney Weaver
It's rare when you have everything going perfectly all at the same time.
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.
