“When you hit your strive, and you feel confident in what you're doing and in your process, you really want to do more and try lots of different things. I've also really worked on my breathing, which is a funny thing to talk about, if you're not an actor. 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.” IfsThinkingWantFeelsTryingDifferentJobsUsedActorsProcessActingHavensKeysStriveOpeningBreathingDifferent ThingsFunny ThingsOpening Up Author:Sigourney Weaver
“After I left Yale, we were all doing these mad plays off - off Broadway. And I got back to that feeling I had from college, of everyone making up in front of one cracked mirror, which is what I loved - the scrappy theater idea. I think off-off Broadway healed me, made me an actor again, and I was in so many different crazy shows.” ThinkingDifferentFeelingsCrazyCollegeMadMaking Up Author:Sigourney Weaver
“I guess it's a pretty common experience while making a movie. You have to let go of the result and just hang on to the experience and the process, where each role takes you to a different country, as it were: You're shipwrecked on this new island, you have no clothes, you have to figure out how you're going to live in this new character. All of that turns me on.” DifferentCountryCharacterCommonLetting Go Author:Sigourney Weaver
“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.” ThinkingWorldShouldDifferentWholeGirlInterestingCitiesBehindsStreetsNew YorkWallGoes OnSceneBotherShould IDifferent WorldsBehind The ScenesWorking Girl Author:Sigourney Weaver
“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.” MindDifferentCharacterFatherStarsSpaceWatchesStrangePlanetsAliens Author: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.” KindDifferentUsePlansDirectorsAliens Author:Sigourney Weaver
