I used to be terribly shy, so I was either shy or over the top, and I always had a difficult time.

I'm a natural golden retrieve...

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.

Writers write these male stereotypes, and it makes it ten times more interesting if a woman says the lines.

Sigourney Weaver 121 quotes

There's something to be said ...

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 121 quotes

I think that every piece has ...

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 121 quotes

Once I put that wig on, I did...

Once I put that wig on, I didn't say an intelligent thing for four months. My voice went up. I walked differently. I'd ask incredibly stupid questions.

Sigourney Weaver 121 quotes

When you're young, there's so...

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 121 quotes

Most people think that animal...

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.

I'd rather have a small part ...

I'd rather have a small part in a movie I love than a bigger part in one I don't care about.

Sigourney Weaver 121 quotes

It's always the script that's...

It's always the script that's going to lure me. And I don't really care about the part.

Sigourney Weaver 121 quotes

I am sent too many mainstream...

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.

I wouldn't recommend it, beca...

I wouldn't recommend it, because art school is a funny business. Yes, if you can find a situation where they'll give you money to live at the school and do whatever you want and pay for all your materials, if you're a painter or maybe a filmmaker, do it. But acting should be the most fun thing in the world; you're surrounded by other people who are as obsessed with Anton Chekhov as you are.

Sigourney Weaver 121 quotes

Art school is a very difficul...

Art school is a very difficult thing to run in a generous, humane way, because academic power is somehow very corrupting.

Sigourney Weaver 121 quotes

I never think about Wall Stre...

I never think about Wall Street - why should I - but to go down there so often while filming 'Working Girl,' to become acquainted with this whole different world, and to find out what goes on behind the scenes is so interesting. There's so much of the city that you don't really bother to investigate. Ahh... New York.

Sigourney Weaver 121 quotes

I actually have a long apolog...

I actually have a long apology letter from Robert Brustein, saying, "I'm so sorry this happened to you. I didn't realize the people who were running the acting department at the drama school hated actors." They did. And they were fired when I graduated.

Sigourney Weaver 121 quotes

Someday hopefully it won’t be...

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 121 quotes

I think I have always tried t...

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 121 quotes

Most of life is hell. It’s fi...

Most of life is hell. It’s filed with failure and loss. People disappoint you. Dreams don’t work out. Hearts get broken. Innocent journalists die. And the best moments of life, when everything comes together, are few and fleeting. But you’ll never get to the next great moment if you don’t keep going. So that’s what I do. I keep going.

It is one proof of a good education and of true refinement of feeling, to respect antiquity.

Sigourney Weaver 121 quotes

If one is married for a long ...

If one is married for a long time, and one does have a family . . . It is like an energy, a wonderful fire that never goes out underneath you, to help you go out into the world and do your damnedest.
