1. There's a lot of conning as part of our society, I think. 2. 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.
3. Usually it's the guys that don't follow you around, who you're attracted to!
5. It's rare when you have everything going perfectly all at the same time.
6. 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.
8. 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.
10. 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.
12. 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.
14. I don't really see science fiction as fiction. I can imagine colonies on Mars and everything.
15. I don't want to leave New York and leave my family. I don't like the distance. I just did a movie in California and it's kind of excruciating to be away from them so I think there is that sense.
17. 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.
18. 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.19. I love playing an alien.
20. (on her television series "Political Animals") I was offered this show just as I was realizing that TV was a cool place to work. A series can really take the time to build and layer and tell a different kind of story. It's delicious. It's like a stew instead of a little vegan meal.
22. (on "Political Animals") When I finally got to this material, to my great surprise, I felt I had been eating salad for a number of years and was finally offered a big, juicy hamburger. Because it's so different from what's going on in movies, which are dominated by effects and action and comic-book characters. To sink my teeth into these relationships has been just fantastic.
24. Usually all Hollywood wants you to do is what you just did. After "The Ice Storm" I was offered a thousand "Ice Storms" and so on. You always get offered the same thing again and again, if you're not very careful. It's up to you to swing back and forth.
26. I think I get sent the roles Meryl's (Meryl Streep) not doing.
28. These deep sea trawlers are operating beyond the reach of the law. It's up to all of us to change that.
29. I love working quickly. I don't like to do thousands of takes, and I don't want to do thousands of set ups.
31. 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.
32. I've lost a lot of roles because of my height. I'm 6ft 3in in heels. Producers are short and I was never their sexual fantasy. As for actors, if I enter a room and an actor stands up then immediately gets self-conscious and sits back down, I hear myself saying: "This job isn't for me". I once offered to paint my shoes on my bare feet to get one part because it made me appear shorter.
34. 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.
36. 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.
38. 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.
40. 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.
42. If you come back from the dead, you don't have the same value system, I think.
43. (on "Alien 3") 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.
44. Maybe you're better to play a villain just straight out.
47. (on "The Year of Living Dangerously") 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.
49. (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.
51. One of the reasons I did this, because I wasn't really looking for another science fiction film, was that my daughter can see it. She's 9 and it's really a good film for all ages.
