Sigourney Weaver quotes - page 2

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've always thought that a lot of the problems in the world would be solved if a spaceship did arrive, then anyone with one head and two arms and two legs would be your brother! It wouldn't matter where they were from or what they believed or anything. It might be good for us.
Sigourney Weaver
Usually it's the guys that don't follow you around, who you're attracted to!

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
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'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
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
There's a lot of conning as part of our society, I think.
Sigourney Weaver
I think I have always tried to do the smaller films. I like to jump around and there is something really nice for acting in a smaller film. But I think now, Hollywood's movies certainly involve a younger generation for the most part and so... I love going back and forth.
Sigourney Weaver
I don't want to leave New York and leave my family. I don't like the distance. I just did a movie in California and it's kind of excruciating to be away from them so I think there is that sense.
Sigourney Weaver
I wanted to play a mother again. I thought it would be interesting to play the mother of an older child. And it was also the kind of part I've been looking for my whole career, actually, in film. You know, just to play a femme fatale who's very smart, and wicked. (Sigourney Weaver)
I've been very fortunate to be able to jump around. I just did this really wonderful film called Map of the World. That was a real, amazing, dramatic story. Then I did a movie called Company Men, a little comedy about the Bay of Pigs.
Sigourney Weaver
I love working with young people and young filmmakers, and I love working on first films. I think it's cool. It's fun. I just take it as it comes.
Sigourney Weaver
Every role sort of teaches you how to prepare for it.
Sigourney Weaver
I'm very happy with the opportunities I've had.
Sigourney Weaver
I used to be terribly shy, so I was either shy or over the top, and I always had a difficult time.
Sigourney Weaver
There's something to be said for going right into people's living rooms. I think actors have always loved that medium - you're right in there with people in their homes. A lot of very audacious work is being done on television.
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
I really enjoy working with younger actors. I just feel like we're all peers together.
Sigourney Weaver
I always find it particularly difficult to work in New York because there are so many things to do.
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 think indie films are really important, because they show the studios and the audiences when they see them, great stories. Really interesting, small stories.
Sigourney Weaver
I consider myself very much a team player.
Sigourney Weaver
People are amazed that I do comedy. I always did comedy.
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.'
