Sigourney Weaver Quotes

I love the role of Ripley Picture Quote #1

Please, God, please, don’t let me be normal Picture Quote #1

I always find it particularly difficult to work in New York because there are so many things to do Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

As long as your robot isn’t programmed by like Dr. Evil, I think you’re going to be fine Picture Quote #1

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! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Secretly, I had always wanted to go to Vegas, and have my own really bad act Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I just feel that getting out there physically and protecting New York, putting my arms around everyone and protecting them... to see this happen to our city and our community Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s always the script that’s going to lure me. And I don’t really care about the part Picture Quote #1

I don’t really see science fiction as fiction. I can imagine colonies on Mars and everything Picture Quote #1

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.’ Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I had always done theater in extracurricular ways. I’d never been a drama major Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
