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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
Only someone who believes in marriage would be married five times.
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
I'd be more interested in doing a smaller, character driven thing, rather than another action picture.
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 really enjoy working with younger actors. I just feel like we're all peers together.
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
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
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 always find it particularly difficult to work in New York because there are so many things to do.
Sigourney Weaver
I feel self-doubt whether I'm doing something hard or easy.
Sigourney Weaver
I have a very commercial appetite. I don't like to do high-brow things.
Sigourney Weaver
One of the reasons I did this, because I wasn't really looking for another science fiction film, was that my daughter can see it. She's 9 and it's really a good film for all ages.
Sigourney Weaver
I love the role of Ripley.
Sigourney Weaver
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.
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'd rather have a small part in a movie I love than a bigger part in one I don't care about.
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
