CGI is done after the film is done. It's through the computer. Most of the film is not computer-generated special effects. Most of it is that creature that is in the room with you. |
In 1979, Alien came out and Sigourney was in it with a bunch a guys. Nobody at that time expected the woman to be the hero, so that was a tradition that started. |
I wouldn't want anyone to destroy the earth. |
If you're in love and there's that chemistry, that's what it's all about. |
Sometimes when you don't care, people are attracted to that. |
As different as me and Sigourney look is as different as these two characters are. I'm not filling her shoes. I'm doing a part that has the same monsters, but it's a completely different movie. |
When you have a play, you have to be on every night. |
To make a movie is very grueling at times. Long, long hours and cold weather. |
I had never picked up a basketball before. I went through a grueling audition process. It was almost as if I was learning to walk. It would be like teaching somebody to dance ballet for a role. |
Some of us just have to work harder to stay in the game. |
I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now. |
When you're on a set it can be very tedious and slow. It's just not as big as when you see it on film. |
I look forward to going to work. Everybody is at the top of their game. It was like we just got to play. |
Being strong can be also feminine. I don't think feminine equals being weak. Being strong is very sexy. |
I got nominated for a Tony, which was a complete surprise. It was an experience that I will always cherish. |
The Alien is gross, scary. There is something in a human being that looks at them and sees it as a cockroach. You can never feel nurturing towards the cockroach. |
You would never expect a black woman to be the hero. |
I'll eventually go back to theater because the feeling of being on stage where you have the audience right there, you can't replace that with anything. |
People make jokes about how black people are the first ones to be killed off. |
I liked the fact that there were so many different representations of black women and black men in the movie. It wasn't like we all had the same agenda. |
