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

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000164623
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000192449
In the past, 'Avatar' would have won because they [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

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000231247
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000237398
I'd love to tell actors about all the things they don't need to worry about. Less is more. If you have it inside, you don't need to show too much. People pick up on things. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000268144
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000270552
Never burn bridges. Today's junior jerk, tomorrow's senior partner. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000281912
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

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000304019
That whole generation that's gone now, that lived through the two world wars, is a great example to all of us. They knew how to live. If something bad happened, they didn't sit at home, eat Haagen-Dazs, and watch a movie. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000305878

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000406069
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. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000430936
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000570536
When I was in college, I did sort of want to be a journalist. Being an actor, you kind of have the same interest. You go into a story, and you tell it from your point of view for people who aren't there. That's what an actor does with a character. But the real life is more more interesting. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000600136

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000663229
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000680507
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000688086
I actually think the reason I am interested in certain parts is because I was such a dweeb in high school. When you are such a loser, it's a helpful way in to a lot of characters because even very powerful people are not all that powerful, really. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000714651
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. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000758250
Being tall has a major impact in general. It takes some courage to be as big as you are - to live up to it and not be intimidated by the graceful tiny people. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000801930
I think that every piece has its challenges. I love going back and forth between one and the other. I'll always pick a comedy over a drama. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000813733
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000818158

My voice went up. I walked differently. I'd ask incredibly stupid questions. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000823173
What makes these creatures so awful is the feeling that they can use us in ways too horrible to imagine-and yet, we DO imagine them, which makes it worse than seeing it. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000840601
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000869048
It's always the script that's going to lure me. And I don't really care about the part. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000902415
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000951737
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000975447
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 000992764

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001011143
I love playing an alien. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001043644
What I perceive in science fiction is that it's more about how everything looks than what's going on, which I think is just difficult if you're an action character. I think they are about character, not about what it looks like. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001066322
I feel self-doubt whether I'm doing something hard or easy. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001093534
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001146811
Writers write these male stereotypes, and it makes it ten times more interesting if a woman says the lines. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001189937
Every time there's a really good story, there's women in it. We may not get as many roles, but the roles we get are really good, I think, for the most part. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001202954

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001258356
I worked hard and made my own way, just as my father had. And just, I'm sure, as he hoped I would. I learned, from observing him, the satisfaction that comes from striving and seeing a dream fulfilled. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001291757
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001296569
I am a person who goes out without a purse. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001307273

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001308029
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001326417
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001333573
I'm a natural golden retriever at heart. I'm fine with that now, but there was a time when I tried to keep myself from jumping up on people. I had to make myself sit. -- Sigourney Weaver

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001345489
As an actor, the second and last ones were interesting for me. Because those parts had the most change in playing someone who was both light and dark, sort of Jekyl and Hyde. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001403207
I made fun of myself before everybody else could, so I always got the comic crowns: Freshman Fink, Sophomore Fairy, Junior Birdman. I got all three of them! -- Sigourney Weaver

I was discouraged at drama school, along with most of my peers. -- Sigourney Weaver

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001482288
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001493346
I'm very happy with the opportunities I've had. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001495289

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001508797

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001542230
I'd be more interested in doing a smaller, character driven thing, rather than another action picture. -- Sigourney Weaver

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001577715

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001586527
I've always been very shy and sheltered; I think it was a good way of starting to communicate with people. I was taught as a child never to talk about myself, never to talk about my emotions. Of course, now I talk about myself constantly. Now I have to take reverse est. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001587976

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001590434

Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001720954
Maybe you're better to play a villain just straight out. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001738950
I am sent too many mainstream scripts in which the older woman is really quite grotesque. Sometimes you read a script and you feel quite sick that they have to caricature older women in such a negative way. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001762747

I consider myself very much a team player. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001776880
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
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001776881
It is one proof of a good education and of true refinement of feeling, to respect antiquity. -- Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver Quotes : pic 001776883
