Frases de Sigourney Weaver

“El negocio del cine divide a las mujeres para convertirse en reinas frías o en putas, y ha habido momentos en que quería ser una puta más que nada.”

“Me cambié de nombre cuando tenía unos doce años porque no me gustaba que me llamesen Sue o Susie. Sentí que necesitaba un nombre más largo. ¿Y qué pasó? Que ahora todo el mundo me llama Sir o Siggy.”

“No basta con tener senos, usar pantalones cortos y tener un arma en la mano para ser una verdadera heroína.”

“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.”

“I would rather have stayed in the theater and done comedy. Comedy in film (was) so narrow for women. I was much happier doing very black comedy onstage, and I could never find anything of that ilk on film. The closest to what I might have accomplished was `Working Girl.'”

“I guess I don`t think of film as an innovative medium. I guess I feel that film kind of caught up to what`s been happening to women for the last 20 years.”

“There`s only so much bad luck that a person can have. For her to continue to wake up and con-front the alien and resolve the situation, then go back to sleep and wake up to yet another situation-to me, it`s a burden on the whole science-fiction premise of the alien.”
