Sigourney Weaver's quotes

I'd rather have a small part in a movie I love than a bigger part in one I don't care about.
Well, I've always admired Margaret Rutherford. Like her, I'd like to play Miss Marple when I'm eighty.
I'm having a wonderful time producing. There are good producers and bad producers. I've learned the hard way what not to do. The ultimate aim is to produce things I'm not actually in. I'm not looking for vehicles for myself. It's not a vanity company.
Some of the most intense affairs are between actors and characters. There's a fire in the human heart and we jump into it with the same obsession as we have with our lovers.
I'd rather work with a first-time director who's passionate about the material. I've done enough movies with old and jaded people who are just like "Let's get this over with".
In Hollywood, if you are a man and speak your mind openly, you're considered a man in full. But if you are a woman and do the same, you're nothing but an annoying bitch.
These deep sea trawlers are operating beyond the reach of the law. It's up to all of us to change that.
Most people think somebody, somewhere is looking out for the deep oceans, but they aren't.
I don't have ambitions, I believe in taking what comes. I have that philosophy about life in general. I go in and try to transform it into the best it can be.
[1992: on the possibility of performing in a fourth Alien movie] I am sure there will eventually be an Alien 4, it just won't have me in it.
[1992: working on AlienÂ³ (1992)] Okay, the crew have not enjoyed being here until ten o'clock at night, but you know, that's the way it is.
[1992: on AlienÂ³ (1992)] [David] Fincher is very dry. He is the only director I can think of who can come up with so many jokes, considering the pressure he has been under.
[on The Year of Living Dangerously (1982)] It was a happy experience. Mel Gibson was quite happy for me to wear four-inch heels if I wanted and Peter Weir gave me a sense of film I hadn't had before.
[on her role as a student activist] Napalm was invented at Stanford University, so one of the reasons we were protesting was to make sure that didn't continue. I think we stopped the university and we helped stop that war.
I changed my name when I was twelve because I didn't like being called Sue or Suzie. I felt I needed a longer name because I was so tall. So what happened? Now everyone calls me Sig or Siggy.
