Sigourney Weaver recalls trashing Alien’s sex scene during first meeting with Ridley Scott
She did take Ripley’s journey very seriously, however, sharing a conversation about the character with co-star. “I remember saying to him, ‘Huh, do you think Ripley knows what she’s doing? Do you think that she thinks she’s right all these times?’ And he said, ‘Yes. I think she does know that she’s right.’ And I said, ‘I don’t think she does. I think it’s a total crap shoot, and she knows it. And she’s just got to fly by the seat of her pants, hoping’ … because I think that’s the story.
“It’s a kind of every-man story. It’s about someone who, you know, thinks that the trip is gonna go this way, and she has this sort of manual of how things should go, you know, she’s a young ensign. And she has to give up all of that order and deal. And to me, it’s everyone’s story,” she continues. “And especially for a woman, because she’s not gonna whimper in a corner and say I need help, cause she’s gotta do it herself.
that’s why I am an actor, I think that’s what women do. We do the tough stuff all the time. And I love telling that story.”

Weaver, a Black woman, also was deeply intentional about building in DEI best practices in from the start, which surprised some people who thought a company with a female, African-American leader wouldn’t have to think as much about DEI. Wrong, Weaver says and she demonstrates the ways the company focuses on inclusion to avoid common pitfalls other companies face when building up their diversity efforts. Weaver focuses not just on demographic diversity, but also diversity of thought, a tricky concept that’s sometimes used as a scapegoat to avoid hard conversations about DEI. Weavers says you need both. Her journey is not over, though, as she continues to work on her company’s diversity, and her industries, partnering with Jack Daniels to build a pipeline of diverse talent in the spirits business.
