- [Cal] So it's all about
wisdom, wisdom in your own words.
- [Sigourney] It does
take some courage to be
as big as you are, to
live up to that and to
not be intimidated by the
more graceful tiny people.
That's why I like to
play all these odd people
because I felt so odd for so long.
I think I had to fight
to do what I do because
I heard the teachers in my ears telling me
I couldn't do what I wanted.
I really think all those people who think
that's what they're there to
do, instead of just teaching,
don't tell me if you think
I'm good enough or not,
I didn't ask you.
And they should all be fired.
That whole generation that's gone now
that lived through the two wars I think is
a great example to all of us.
They knew how to live, if
something bad happened,
they would not sit at
home and eat Haagen Dazs
and watch a movie, they
went out and danced
their little feet off.
My father, you know, big swimmers,
big water skiers, he always used to carry
his bathing suit in his briefcase.
I think that's perhaps what
the process of life is,
as you get older you
become more gorilla-like.
You know, you're seeing
nature, enjoying this meal,
this glass of wine, this friend.
I think when you're young,
there's so much now,
maybe you can't take it in.
But when you get older,
it's a different experience.
You've gotta kind of
reach out and drink it.
It's not pouring over
you like a waterfall.
So being older, to me, is such a trip.
I just love it.
I love it.
I remember I saw Tom
Cruise at a deli once.
I screamed.
I screamed "there's Tom Cruise!"
Poor man! You know?
I would die if anyone did
that to me, I would run.
