Quote

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.

For the camera, particularly, I feel like - I think that, as human faces become older, they become more interesting.
Sigourney Weaver
Image
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.'

Don't depend on other people's encouragement. It's never enough and never when you need it.

I had always done theater in extracurricular ways. I'd never been a drama major.

I have a very commercial appetite. I don't like to do high-brow things.

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.

I love working quickly. I don't like to do thousands of takes, and I don't want to do thousands of set ups.

People are amazed that I do comedy. I always did comedy.
Sigourney Weaver
Image
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.

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.

I love playing an alien.

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.

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.

Image
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.

I always find it particularly difficult to work in New York because there are so many things to do.

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.

Secretly, I had always wanted to go to Vegas, and have my own really bad act!

I feel self-doubt whether I'm doing something hard or easy.

It's rare when you have everything going perfectly all at the same time.

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.
