Hey everybody, you know who this is, is the star of Avatar, Fire and Ash, Sigourney Weaver.

Gerund

Sigourney, you know I always like talking to you.

But you're also just a delightful company.

And I often think I wish I spent more time with Sigourney Weaver.

But there is hardly ever time for the things we want in this life.

And so instead we've come up with something called the Colbert Questionnaire.

It's a series of psychodynamic investigative tools that penetrate straight to the heart, soul and psyche of a person so that they are completely revealed to the world.

You will have no secrets when this is over.

Sigourney Weaver, are you willing to be known?

Sigourney Weaver, what is the best sandwich?

Well, I have to say my favorite is a cheddar cheese and tomato sandwich on white toast.

Because I had just finished this long day of doing scenes for Alien.

In my screen test, Ridley Scott had built a whole set at Shepparton.

And I spent the whole day doing this fabulous run through.

But then I was going to, you know, have to find out if I got it.

I was the only one they were auditioning.

But anyway, I got back to my hotel room and I was so starving.

And it was the most delicious food I've ever had in my life.

You've essentially auditioned for a part that only you are auditioning for at this point, as far as I knew.

And you're going back to the hotel and you have this delicious sandwich.

And I'm back in New York and I'm in my living room listening to Lena Horne.

I've got the world on a string and the phone rings and it's Ridley Scott telling me I have the part I actually happen to have.

Okay, what was the first concert you attended?

I was 12 and I was at the Hollywood bowl, girls screaming all around me.

My sister saw them in D.C. on the feast of the Assumption.

And they had to get special dispensation from my mom to go to the Beatles because their brothers were saying, you're gonna go to hell cause you're missing mass at the Feast of the Assumption, which is a holy day of obligation.

And they said they couldn't hear a thing.

My sisters did not make that reference, but I'm sure they would agree.

What do you remember other than the screaming?

I was at the very back of the Hollywood bowl and it's in Ron Howard's documentary about the Beatles.

Because the Hollywood bowl went through all its archives and I suddenly get an email about 10 years ago saying, we think this is you.

My hair is huge because I put it on, you know, beer cans all day, straightened it, and

I didn't really want to scream, but they all seemed so.
