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.
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.
Sometimes when you don't care, people are attracted to that.
I love making movies. I love the fact that movies are forever. When I'm 80, my grandkids can see me in Love and Basketball and in Brown Sugar.
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.
I look forward to going to work. Everybody is at the top of their game. It was like we just got to play.
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.
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.
I got nominated for a Tony, which was a complete surprise. It was an experience that I will always cherish.
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 was working straight for nine months and I'm exhausted. I'm ready to relax for a little while and read. I don't want to work for work sake; I have to be excited about it.
