"“To become part of this cavalcade of stars this pantheon of incredible talents from every aspect of the business is the greatest honor I can think of,” Weaver said."
"“Sigourney basically created the ultimate icon of female badassery in cinema, which I think stands to this day. You were the intelligent woman that the men didn't listen to, and they all got wiped out. And let that be a lesson to us all.”"
"“I've been playing a space dad in the 'Star Wars' universe for eight years now, but Sigourney Weaver is the original space mom,” he said."
