Sigourney Weaver Quotes About School

Quotes about: School

• I was at an all-girls' school, so there were a lot of us who were really awkward. I was this tall when I was 11, so I was really awkward and self-conscious. No one would really have wanted to be mean to me. I was too unimportant.

• I actually think the reason I am interested in certain parts is because I was such a dweeb in high school.

That vulnerability is completely permanent and, as an actor, it's a good thing.

• 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.
