Sigourney Weaver Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Sigourney Weaver:

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

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

I'd be more interested in doing a smaller, character driven thing, rather than another action picture.

Sigourney Weaver

Maybe you're better to play a villain just straight out.

Sigourney Weaver

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

If you come back from the dead, you don't have the same value system, I think.

Sigourney Weaver

I don't really see science fiction as fiction. I can imagine colonies on Mars and everything.

Sigourney Weaver

I love playing an alien.

Sigourney Weaver

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

It was actually a relief for me to play an actor who was scared, who didn't know where everything was, who didn't know what buttons to push, and for me to be able to play all that.

Sigourney Weaver

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

I consider myself very much a team player.

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

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

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

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

Sigourney Weaver

I really enjoy working with younger actors. I just feel like we're all peers together.

Sigourney Weaver

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

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

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

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.

Sigourney Weaver

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.

Sigourney Weaver

I love the role of Ripley.

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

Usually it's the guys that don't follow you around, who you're attracted to!

Sigourney Weaver

I'm very happy with the opportunities I've had.

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 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

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

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

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

My husband is from Hawaii and his father who was also born in Hawaii was a teenager when Pearl Harbor happened, right before church and he ran up and got on the roof of his grandfather's house and watched the planes go over.

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

People are amazed that I do comedy. I always did comedy.

Sigourney Weaver

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

Sigourney Weaver

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

Sigourney Weaver

I think breathing is actually the key to a lot of opening up of other parts of yourself that you haven't used, for any job, but particularly in acting.
