When we look at something that is alien to us, that is beyond our comprehension, what do we see but ourselves?
I’m not to be confused with Natasha Henstridge in ‘Species,’ where I just emerge out of the weird alien womb looking amazing. I really rely heavily on my black outfits and my gold chains to give me sort of a thing.
I walk into a restaurant, and people stare as though I’ve just landed from another planet. Every time I walk out in public, it’s like the alien freak show has arrived. It does have its advantages. I hardly ever get bothered by the paparazzi, probably because of some of the more edgy characters I’ve played in movies.
We were going for an otherworldly feel, you know a lot of people tell us we look like aliens anyway. I don’t know if it’s just because there’s two of us and we have big eyes and long necks.
Who can forget the awesome scene in ‘Independence Day’ when the White House gets blown up by aliens? Sure, it looks cheesy now, but back in 1994, it was incredible.
I have always been a huge fan of Ridley Scott and certainly when I was a kid. ‘Alien’, ‘Blade Runner’ just blew me away because they created these extraordinary worlds that were just completely immersive. I was also an enormous Stanley Kubrick fan for similar reasons.
I was really upset because I was branded as an enemy alien when I’m an American.
Obviously, it’s not the same when you play at wing-back. You don’t have to defend as much. You don’t get exposed in defensive situations as much as when playing as a full-back, so it is definitely different, but it is not something that it is totally alien to me.
They asked if I was interested in a role as a large alien in a movie.

‘Alien’ asked ground-breaking questions about eco-politics and female empowerment. ‘The Matrix’ delved deeper into the concept of perception versus reality than perhaps any other film I know. But for some reason, we tend not to remember the significance of their writing.
My reluctance to use alien invasion is due to the feeling that we are not likely to be invaded and taken over.

Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.
I have always been a huge fan of Ridley Scott and certainly when I was a kid. ‘Alien’, ‘Blade Runner’ just blew me away because they created these extraordinary worlds that were just completely immersive. I was also an enormous Stanley Kubrick fan for similar reasons.
In a land of immigrants, one was not an alien but simply the latest arrival.
You look at the Pew Hispanic Center study on the number of illegal aliens in America and the number of jobs they have, that’s 7.4 million, illegal aliens in America.

Some people say I’ve got a five-octave range, which is ridiculous. That would mean I’d sing like Mariah Carey or that alien in ‘The Fifth Element.’ And I’m nothing like that blue alien. I’ve got a range of about 3 1/2 octaves.
I’m not a player; I’m an alien.
I’m a huge Springsteen fan, and yet if either he or Bob Dylan had to be erased from the world’s hard drive, I would save Bob Dylan’s work for sure – he’s the greater talent, and by leaps and bounds and skyscrapers and rocket blasts. But Bob Dylan is an alien to his public.
The thing about owls is that they do sort of have this facial disc, which is unlike any other bird. They kind of have a face, more than like a dog or a giraffe. They have this weird, alien face that you can actually make expressive.

It’s hardly surprising that the corporate aliens lie when it comes to the relationship between doing something about climate change and the economy.
While I prefer generally more personal dramas in which I can stretch myself… and while I’m not a science fiction buff, I consider ‘2001’ a great film, absolutely enthralling; at ‘Star Wars’ I had a fabulous time, and, at ‘Alien,’ while it was a silly story, I was knocked out.
I don’t believe in ghosts, but I believe in aliens and alternate dimensions.

Humanity is actually under the control of dinosaur-like alien reptiles called the Babylon Brotherhood who must consume human blood to maintain their human appearance.
I said that if an alien came to visit, I’d be embarrassed to tell them that we fight wars to pull fossil fuels out of the ground to run our transportation. They’d be like, ‘What?’

I started ‘SNL,’ and I became the one who did impressions. I did that, but then I wanted to get an original character on, and that took a long time to get one on that stuck. And then I got Vinny Vedecci on – ‘Oh great’ – and then it took a couple more seasons to get Greg the Alien on. You have to have some patience.
You think of floating on a rock in space as so alien, but that’s exactly what we’re doing.

Failure to deport aliens who are convicted for criminal offenses puts whole communities at risk – especially immigrant communities in the very sanctuary jurisdictions that seek to protect the perpetrators.

‘Alien’ is one of my all-time favorite horror films – that has a great monster.
I read a lot of the battle that goes on between the ufologists, you know, the ones who think that UFOs are aliens, and the people who think that UFOs are demons. They battle with each other, and sometimes I interject comments, every now and then. Not as myself, but under another moniker.
It’s really kind of a luxury for an actor to have the opportunity to show such different types of characters. I actually left ‘Cowboys & Aliens’ and went straight into ‘The Change-Up.’ It was kind of a funny change of pace.
I feel… sexier, I think, with short hair. I feel like an alien!
It’s not just in The Bronx or in the ghettos or even just America. It’s worldwide. Who knows, it could be some aliens on Mars listening to hip-hop, you know what I mean? So it’s really, really transformed from this little thing of ours to a thing for everyone.
I don’t believe that there are aliens. I believe there are really different people.
If a president can enforce a part of a law and delay a part of a law, then does he have a power to not enforce any law he so chooses? If he can allow illegal aliens to freely run across our border, can he force legal citizens out of the country? Where would be the end of his power?
You may not see massive UFO exhibits at your local science museum, but there’s no dearth of saucer stories infesting my email.

A man who gives himself to be a possession of aliens leads a Yahoo life, having bartered his soul to a brute-master. He is not of them. He may stand against them, persuade himself of a mission, batter and twist them into something which they, of their own accord, would not have been.

I don’t believe that there are aliens. I believe there are really different people.

The Bible makes it clear that Adam’s sin affected the whole universe. This means that any aliens would also be affected by Adam’s sin, but because they are not Adam’s descendants, they can’t have salvation.
Actually criminal sanctions that are given could be up to five years for violating the rules and regulations under the campaign finance reform. This is like the Alien and Sedition Act of years and years ago, decades ago.
Whereas any political party, and nearly all voters, prize consistency as a sign of authentic, values-driven thinking, it is deeply alien to the hacker, who holds that changing your mind is simply intelligence in action.
I imagine if aliens came down to Earth, they’d actually be quite tall; people seem to get everything right about extraterrestrials but the size!

A man who gives himself to be a possession of aliens leads a Yahoo life, having bartered his soul to a brute-master. He is not of them. He may stand against them, persuade himself of a mission, batter and twist them into something which they, of their own accord, would not have been.
‘Alien’ is a great movie. So is ‘Close Encounters.’ But I’m not the guy who goes out to the science-fiction festival. ‘2001’s good.
I’ve always felt like an alien trapped in a human form. We all do at some time or other; for me it’s a permanent state, and I’m still unsure if Earth is a penance or a reward.
It is claimed, but with what truth we cannot say, that there is a well-defined propaganda among the aliens of colour to bring about the degeneration of the white race.
I’ve always loved ‘lived-in’ sci-fi. We take it for granted now, but it was a revelation in the late ’70s – ’80s, when movies like ‘Alien’, ‘Escape From New York’, and even ‘Star Wars’ introduced us to the idea that the future could, in fact, look old.

Many people suggest using mathematics to talk to the aliens, and Dutch computer scientist Alexander Ollongren has developed an entire language (Lincos) based on this idea. But my personal opinion is that mathematics may be a hard way to describe ideas like love or democracy.
I was pregnant and nursing most of the years I was at 24 Sussex. I was ill-prepared and hardly even knew my husband, let alone how I was supposed to fit into this world that was very alien to me.

If they want to talk about aliens and anything like that… that’s part of the gift God gave us. That’s what makes life exciting. We’re pretty stuck, you know. What gives flight to our life is our imagination.

I looked like an alien, and in front of the most beautiful people on TV.
We always talked about the sequel to ‘Clown’ being called ‘Clowns,’ like an ‘Alien’/’Aliens’ sorta thing, where you have multiple clowns. And just really make it, in the way that ‘Aliens’ was an action movie, do the same thing. Action-horror. That would be great.
I’ve always known that I’m very, very ordinary looking. But I’m not alien looking. I am an artist here to play characters.
When you play the king of elves and alien warlords, little me is very uninteresting. But, at the same time, actors feel this obligation to be transparent, and I truly don’t understand the point.
Obviously one must hold oneself responsible for the evil impulses of one’s dreams. In what other way can one deal with them? Unless the content of the dream rightly understood is inspired by alien spirits, it is part of my own being.

I was naturalized right before Pearl Harbor. Nine days later, I would have been classified as an enemy alien. I might have been sent to a camp.
‘Toybox’ is that kind of game that will stretch your mental capacity by doing very simple things like solving an easy puzzle of shooting aliens. You’ll just need to do everything at the same time to make it through alive. Just to make things tricky, the tasks change every week so you can’t get used to any set.
I felt different from everyone else – like an alien. The looks I received when I was 320 pounds were ones usually reserved for three-eyed monsters, half-man half-woman reptiles, creatures with hideous rolls of skin that sweated profusely and jiggled when they walked. That last one really was me.
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’ve had a few alien encounters.

I would have liked to see where we would have the authority to arrest illegal aliens just by being here illegally and book them into our jails, but that’s not going to happen.
You know, for a normal kid it might be how to ask somebody out on a date or how to deal with the SATs or just how to deal with the bully down the block. And the X-Men have the conflict of Magneto or aliens or what-have-you.
I remember as a child going to an exhibit about the Soviet Union, and every paper had this alien smell. The paper and the ink were all exported. It was like a piece of cheese from that country, you could touch it, feel it, smell it, and it was different.
Doing ‘Prometheus’ was what you imagine being an actor is like when you’re five. In a spacesuit, on another planet, getting killed by an alien. It was a real treat; it felt like being a part of movie history.
I’m not the kind of person who would want to go into a studio and manage other people and listen to the phone ringing. That’s alien to me.
The skin of my character in ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth’ was some concoction, a spermatozoon of an alien nature that was obscene and weird-looking.
Imagine if the dinosaurs had tried picturing the rulers of their planet 100 million years hence. They’d undoubtedly envision these creatures as… dinosaurs! Conceiving of aliens as polished versions of ourselves is appealing, but unconvincing.
I believe things happen that can’t be explained, but so many people seem intent on explaining them. Everyone has an answer for them. Either aliens or things from the spirit world.
China is not going to become a liberal democracy; if it did, it would collapse. I do not believe you can impose on other countries standards which are alien and totally disconnected with their past.

If you watch ‘E.T.’ and say that there are holes in the story because this alien lands, then don’t go to the movie! It drives me insane.
I believe movies are showing us what we already know with aliens especially, so when we do get to meet them it’s not a big shock.
I never examined what I did in any great detail because I thought it would spoil things. I never read the scripts at all carefully, and never wanted to know what was going on, because I felt that being a benevolent alien that’s the way it should be.
To show a ‘well-founded fear of persecution’, an alien need not prove that it is more likely than not that he or she will be persecuted in his or her home country.
Alien – an American sovereign in his probationary state.

If you’re an illegal alien in Prince William County, I’d get out.
You pull anyone from an alien planet down to Earth, and you want to show them great work, show them Tywin Lannister on ‘Game of Thrones.’ I mean, it’s just as good as it gets.

Antarctica is a very alien environment, and you can’t survive here more than minutes if you’re not equipped properly and doing the right thing all the time.
I’m not downplaying my age – because humankind is such that people run away from their age. Especially women. Guys pretend not to care, but they do. Age is not a good thing to most human beings. But, being an alien, I embrace it.
I think I would not be described as a character actor in that I don’t take on characteristics which are very alien to me.
Some people say I’ve got a five-octave range, which is ridiculous. That would mean I’d sing like Mariah Carey or that alien in ‘The Fifth Element.’ And I’m nothing like that blue alien. I’ve got a range of about 3 1/2 octaves.
And the bottom line is, is that they are illegal aliens entering our country. And we simply cannot sustain that kind of activity. Bottom line is it’s a backdoor to amnesty and I don’t believe the American people support that.
By the time I auditioned for ‘Aliens in America,’ the July 7 bombing had happened in London. So I’d had those experiences where I would get onto the Tube, and people would get off. So there was a lot about Raja that I understood.
I have been primarily interested in how and why ordinary people do unusual things, things that seem alien to their natures. Why do good people sometimes act evil? Why do smart people sometimes do dumb or irrational things?
I used to watch ‘Aliens’, and I just found Sigourney Weaver’s character so empowering.
In the ’50s, listening to Elvis and others on the radio in Bombay – it didn’t feel alien. Noises made by a truck driver from Tupelo, Mississippi, seemed relevant to a middle-class kid growing up on the other side of the world. That has always fascinated me.
If a song’s about something I’ve experienced or that could’ve happened to me it’s good. But if it’s alien to me, I couldn’t lend anything to it. Because that’s what soul is all about.
‘Aliens’ was a brilliant movie, but you still wanted to see the Alien come to Earth.
Emergency health care for illegal aliens along the southwestern border is already costing area hospitals $200 million a year, with perhaps another $100 million in extended care costs.

I watched ‘Alien,’ and I watched ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,’ the Swedish version. I watched the original ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre,’ and I watched the Jessica Biel version and watched Jessica’s performance.

Hollywood continues to present the U.S. Army as being the good guys, always defeating the aliens or foreigners.
There’s really no way to plan how to play an alien.
What most people don’t understand is that UFOs are on a cosmic tourist route. That’s why they’re always seen in Arizona, Scotland, and New Mexico. Another thing to consider is that all three of those destinations are good places to play golf. So there’s possibly some connection between aliens and golf.
Republicans rejected calls for amnesty and we’ve fought efforts to provide illegal aliens with taxpayer funded benefits. The American people are far closer to our Republican approach to border security than they are to Nancy Pelosi’s approach.
Crime, to the man of the forties, was an alien monstrous terror.
These illegal aliens are criminals and we need to treat them as such. I’m not in favor of giving amnesty to anybody who has broken the law. I applaud what our Georgia legislature is doing in trying to crack down on this situation.
Whether ‘Avatar’ is racist is a matter for debate. Regardless of where you come down on that question, it’s undeniable that the film – like alien apartheid flick ‘District 9’, released earlier this year – is emphatically a fantasy about race.
What are you gonna do, talk the alien to death?
I think maybe it’s time for liberals to not start weeping when I say things like ‘retard’ or ‘illegal alien.’
My whole life, I wanted to be an actor. Perhaps the seed was planted when I saw Sigourney Weaver in ‘Alien’, wiping the floor with the men on the ship.
Look, bro, you mean to tell me that Elon Musk not a alien? C’mon, brah, he’s trying to get people to go on Mars.
When ‘Blade Runner’ came out, and especially, even actually when ‘Alien’ came out, it kind of changed how all science fiction movies were designed after that. And that was a really great thing. Now we’re watching a lot of movies that are Xeroxes of Xeroxes of Xeroxes of Xeroxes of ‘Blade Runner.’
It is the purpose of the majority of the Immigration Committee to encourage assimilation, yet this bill has already done more than anything I know of to bring about discord among our resident aliens.
With Alien, because we always use a different director, each one kind of stands on its own. So I guess it’s possible for them to make another one, but we have no plans.
None of us are alien to horrific news stories that appear every day about crimes of many colors, especially child trafficking and abuse. As a mom and an extremely emotional person, they have a long-lasting effect on me.
We’ve opened our borders wide open to be flooded with illegal aliens coming into our country. This is the precedent that has been, and it will continue to happen unless we secure our border.
Aliens are definitely real.

I saw my city gripped by fear. Because of violent acts committed by illegal aliens, my residents were afraid to shop – or even drive – on certain streets.
I played as a 10 and, in Sweden, they let me take as many touches as I could. All of a sudden, I come to Arsenal and I have to play one and two touches – it was a little bit alien to me.
If aliens are really hanging out in our ‘hood, it’s hard to imagine any other fact more worthy of study. If not, then why does such a large fraction of the populace insist on believing they’re here?

Texas is as alien as Mars.
My favorite role ever was Alien in ‘Spring Breakers’.
To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational. The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.

The myths underlying our culture and underlying our common sense have not taught us to feel identical with the universe, but only parts of it, only in it, only confronting it – aliens.
As an actor, the joy lies in being able to play roles that you are not. If I get a chance to play a sofa or alien, I would love it.
You know, every year ‘Torchwood’ has become something a little different than it was before. It’s still sci-fi, but it doesn’t just deal with spaceships and aliens all the time, because we’ve done that. Our science fiction is more psychological.
The one place where I do think our culture today has to be extremely careful is this whole thing about illegal aliens. Because any time you start defining a significant block of the population as ‘others,’ or as less than you, you start getting into dangerous waters.
Maybe I’m a product of my era, but I just enjoy the practical effects of ‘The Thing’ more than CGI aliens.
We can still find middle ground, truly secure our borders, deal with those already here and address our labor needs. But those who advocate giving current illegal aliens and future guest workers a special path to citizenship must compromise.
The planet Mars – crimson and bright, filling our telescopes with vague intimations of almost-familiar landforms – has long formed a celestial tabula rasa on which we have inscribed our planetological theories, utopian fantasies, and fears of alien invasion or ecological ruin.
The ‘Star Wars’ films are known for their exotic aliens, sophisticated robots, sleek technology, and planet-sized battle stations.
We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
I don’t like alien films where you don’t get to see the aliens.
Illegal aliens have always been a problem in the United States. Ask any Indian.
I loved the extended version of ‘Aliens’ because it shows just a little bit more that you don’t see and what they always show on television.
Many people say I believe aliens built the pyramids. I don’t. In fact I’m not a supporter of the ‘ancient alien’ hypothesis at all. I think a lost human civilization is a much better explanation of the mysteries and paradoxes of ancient cultures.
I love ‘Alien’ and ‘Blade Runner’ and ‘2001.’
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and it is my job, my responsibility, as an astronomer to remind people that alien hypotheses should always be a last resort.
My middle name is actually Sigourney, I’m named after me Dad’s favourite movie which is ‘Alien,’ named after the actress Sigourney Weaver who gives birth to an alien, I was born to believe in aliens really.
Nobody has ever convinced me that ancient aliens have visited Earth. Not even close.
I’m not a food-optional person. People who forget to eat meals are like aliens to me and, even now, in the age of Seamless and Caviar, I have a hard time relying on strangers to feed me.
Sometime I wish the aliens would abduct me and crown me as their leader.
Making films is my hobby. It relaxes me; it is my life, and it’s one of the best jobs in the world. I go to work and solve problems, fight robots, kill aliens, and kiss beautiful women. I’m a very lucky man.
‘Ghost Adventures,’ ‘Mountain Monsters,’ weird alien UFO shows like ‘Ancient Aliens.’ The people who are self-appointed experts in these fields are really a series of national treasures.
Authoritarian political ideologies have a vested interest in promoting fear, a sense of the imminence of takeover by aliens and real diseases are useful material.
I think you should check out ‘Battle: Los Angeles’ because it really is a sci-fi movie, but it’s not. It’s not like anything you’ve seen before. The best way to describe it is it’s a war movie that happens to have aliens as the enemy.
I don’t think an alien will be a blob. If aliens are out there they should have evolved just like us. They should have eyes and be walking on two legs. In short if there is any life out there then it is likely to be very similar to us.
There are many Latino writers as talented as I am, but because we are published through small presses, our books don’t count. We are still the illegal aliens of the literary world.
Most journalists expect me to answer all their questions about aliens and spaceships.
I really believe that the aliens are us from the future. It seems to me a very plausible reason that explains a lot of phenomena as opposed to green men with one eye from outer space.
I never had the slightest desire to have cosmetic surgery – partly because I don’t want to look like an alien and partly because it’s nice to age in a way. Also, I think that if your soul is beautiful, then the rest of you stays beautiful.
Most visions of extraterrestrial life are actually steeped in human hubris. The fictional extraterrestrials of ‘Star Trek’ or a hundred other space operas are less alien than many of my neighbors. And funny, the ones running the place are mostly WASPish men.
If you’re going to immerse yourself in a project for three years, why not stake out a chunk of the world that is completely alien to you and go traveling?
Part of the reason why Scandinavian crime has been so popular is the landscape. It is just so strong and alien. Although without taking anything away, you should probably also never discount the fact that blood does look particularly good against snow.
I guess it seemed like a natural thing to set ‘AvP’ in the world of the Alien, rather than the world of the Predator. I always liked the idea of it being on earth.
The great majority of Americans do not know much about Islam but nonetheless fear it as violent, expansionist and alien to their society. The problem to overcome is not hatred, but ignorance.
I’ve been stealing from the Alien films throughout my entire career.
Keenser is a smart alien. I try to bring a little bit of comedy into it, but he’s a great thinker.
Humanity is actually under the control of dinosaur-like alien reptiles called the Babylon Brotherhood who must consume human blood to maintain their human appearance.
Scientology always makes me think of that movie ‘V’ where that woman takes off her mask of human flesh to reveal her true, alien self.
Boy, if anyone wants to get visited from an alien, it’s me. I’m dying, and I’ve been sending out that invitation to the universe ever since I was a kid. I don’t believe in little green men. That’s collective neurosis of society. So I don’t believe that.
I heard that the same thing occurred in a scene in Alien, where the creature pops out of the chest of a crewman. The other actors didn’t know what was to happen; the director wanted to get true surprise.
The majority of my UFO diet consists of reports describing suspected encounters. This is not surprising, as there are thousands of sightings annually. The emailer has seen something unusual in the sky that he interprets as probable evidence of alien presence.
I remember playing a college in Michigan, and they all held up their hand to show me where they live, which made me wonder what weird alien cult I had entered.
I think obviously there is some kind of life form somewhere else. Whether it looks like the creature in ‘Alien Autopsy,’ I’m not sure.
My folks came to U.S. as immigrants, aliens, and became citizens. I was born in Boston, a citizen, went to Hollywood and became an alien.
‘Attack The Block’ is an alien invasion film set in South London. It’s about a group of kids who are some petty thugs, who have to find the hero in themselves, when they attack.
Humans having any kind of sporting chance against hostile alien invaders armed with superior technology – Good luck. If they’re advanced enough to cross the enormous distances of interstellar space, they’re advanced enough to wipe us out without breaking whatever in their physiology passes for a sweat.
The ‘Post’ seems to think my strong stance on illegal alien criminals will be a liability in my run for governor of Virginia.
I hated school. I travelled so much in my early years that I didn’t understand the process. I felt suffocated – not like I was some grandiose artist; I just felt like an alien.
I feel that for a lot of my career, I had success, I was adored, but I was also this alien creature. I want to show that I have the skill like any other female model, and I’m asking for the same equal treatment and equal respect as any other female model.
If you look at the mythology of aliens, there’s a lot about gold. It’s about them coming for gold; whether that’s a simplification or not. If you think of ‘Chariot of the Gods,’ there’s this reoccurring theme of gold.
The tabloids, instead of being about alien babies and stuff, it’s my triplets, quadruplets, marriages, feuds.
Self-deportation benefits the illegal alien because he can leave without being arrested or detained, and self-deportation benefits the taxpayer because the government doesn’t have to spend money arresting the alien, detaining the alien and holding removal hearings.
If an alien visited Earth, they would take some note of humans, but probably spend most of their time trying to understand the dominant form of life on our planet – microorganisms like bacteria and viruses.
Gene Roddenberry is one of the greatest guys who ever lived because he gave us hope that the future might be bright and we could accept one another for whoever we were, even if we were alien. That’s an amazing message, don’t you think?
So dance music is now pop music. So now, as a dance producer, what do I have to do? So I’m starting to do alien music, because pop is not pop anymore; we need to go alien to be independent.
About the only things that are unique to Earth are our biota and our culture. If aliens ever come here, they’d most likely be either biologists or music fans. Neither one has much reason to antagonize our armed forces.
I like to have my imagination get blown, like ‘Aliens.’
My friend once sculpted me a bust of Admiral Ackbar from ‘Star Wars.’ He’s my favourite character in the films after Han Solo. He’s that goldfish-type alien in the white costume. ‘It’s a trap!’ I’m a big geek.
They ask questions like ‘do you believe in aliens’ and those types of things. They were really interested in aliens, and that was really something that the Japanese have an interest in, and they are also very big fans of romances.
For me, science is already fantastical enough. Unlocking the secrets of nature with fundamental physics or cosmology or astrobiology leads you into a wonderland compared with which beliefs in things like alien abductions pale into insignificance.
For every person that says I’m the new Audrey Hepburn, someone else says that I look like an alien.
The attraction of watching a movie called ‘Alien vs. Predator’ is you’re anticipating – and the movie has to deliver – battle scenes and fight scenes between the two creatures.
Our nation’s immigration policy has been of top concern in recent years, and for good reason. With between eight and twelve million illegal aliens in the United States, it is obviously a problem out of control.
I hated being scared when I was little. Aliens really scared me.
The thing I don’t understand is why so often one hears discussion of the fruits of human labor as if it’s all the creation of some alien race.
In a lot of Western science fiction, you need some form of conflict, whether it’s aliens or robots. I think in Western culture, being more suspicious of science, and hubris, you’ll see a lot of fear of creating something that goes out of control.
Republicans and Democrats are obsessed with making sure that illegal aliens are granted citizenship. The American people are not. They’re concerned about jobs, the economy, debt. They’re concerned about a plundering country. They’re concerned about a decaying, dying country.
It’s so great in Hollywood now. You have people past 40 sitting and talking about serious stuff, writing and making movies and TV, but there’s laser pistols and superheroes and alien monsters involved. It’s viable and mainstream.
If we can look at another human being and categorise them as ‘illegal,’ or that chilling American word ‘alien,’ then what has become of our own humanity?
Words are not pebbles in alien juxtaposition.
Zero gravity is such an alien environment – completely different from everything we’ve grown up with every single day of our lives. And it’s incomprehensible how much better it was than I anticipated it would be.
I always wanted to do a sci-fi movie, but most sci-fi scripts are either about saving the planet or fighting aliens.
The sequel to ‘Aliens’ is not a movie, it’s a video game. How cool is that? That’s how important our industry has become.
Our constitution protects aliens, drunks and U.S. Senators.
For me, a diva is like the great opera singer, the great film star – out of reach, in their own world, with a real gift for invention: attention-demanding performance artists with a flamboyant, compelling sense of their own importance so special and inimitable it verges on the alien.
When I started the original ‘Alien,’ Ripley wasn’t a woman, it was a guy.
Many do not understand how precarious Western civilization is and what a joy it is. From it, we get real democracy. From it, we get the sort of intellectual tolerance that allows me to propound something that may be completely alien to you.
I don’t think there have been many alien movies where the actors have actually seen the aliens.
Normally I avoid movies where the aliens look like humans. It’s cheesy.
For all the spectacle of CGI, there’s something alien and unreal about that domain, like a videogame.
If an alien with an accounting degree touched down in America, it might conclude that we’re a weird cult that spends 11 months living frugally and four crazy weeks buying tons of stuff we don’t need. It wouldn’t be entirely wrong, either.
After all these years, it’s still amazing what Obama is allowed to get away with. He says low gas prices in 2009 were caused by a terrible economy, but then claims that the lower number of illegal aliens crossing the border is because of his border policies, not the same lousy economy.
On our Southern border, Joe Biden has allowed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of illegal aliens into our country.
We don’t work for the government. We don’t carry guns. We don’t chase aliens. We are a man and a woman. The similarities end there… If ‘X-Files’ and ‘Touched by an Angel’ crashed on ‘Highway to Heaven,’ you’d have ‘Mysterious Ways.’
I believe in aliens. I think it would be way too selfish of us as mankind to believe we are the only lifeforms in the universe.
It’s hardly a secret that I’m skeptical of declarations that the aliens are out and about on our planet. Still, I try to answer every one of these mails and phone calls because, after all, it’s not a violation of physics to travel from one star system to another.
Virginians can choose to continue to elect criminal, illegal aliens like MS-13 – and by the way, they are animals – or, we can arrest them, deport them back to the countries where they came from, and build the wall!
Architecture produces a musical mood in our inner being, and we notice that even though the elements of architecture and music appear to be so alien in the outer world, through this musical mood engendered in us, our experience of architecture brings about a reconciliation, a balance between these two elements.
In general, when moviemakers talk to scientists, they usually see them as a resource to solve particular technical problems or script problems for them. So, something like: what sort of weaponry would aliens be able to wield?
It’s odd that invoking the possibility of alien influences should itself be a sign of madness. I don’t see the need for it to explain history on earth, but I can’t see any reason why the universe shouldn’t be full of life.
An estimated 9,000 American citizens are killed every year by illegal aliens. That’s 25 American citizens per day killed by illegal aliens, averaging 12 by stabbings and shootings and 13 by DUI and related crimes.
People change with time. There are things that happened to a person in his childhood and years later they seem to him alien and strange. I am trying to decipher that child. Sometimes he is a stranger to me. When you think about when you were 14, don’t you feel a certain alienation?
Aliens with legitimate claims to asylum can still receive it – they simply have to go to one of our ports of entry. Thanks to this decisive order from President Trump, we are continuing to provide a path to protection for those who truly need it, while stopping our generosity from being abused.
The hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who have unlawfully crossed our border are posing a significant threat to the government’s ability to effectively enforce our nation’s immigration laws.
Granted, we need to have a sound immigration policy that allows people into our country who are going to produce more than they are going to consume, but the bottom line is illegal aliens consume far more of our tax resources than they generate.
Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.
Supergirl is this unattainable, idealistic optimist of an alien, and all of us can escape into her world, and she always saves the day.
It doesn’t matter if it’s aliens or emotional weapons or whatever – it’s still a real story about big feelings that have to come out.
Aliens are definitely real.
Stephen Hawking’s been watching too many Hollywood movies. I think the only kind aliens in Hollywood are the ones created by Steven Spielberg – ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ and ‘E.T.,’ for example. All other aliens are trying to suck our brains out.
I’m a huge sci-fi geek, and I also really get into all of the alien shows on the History Channel where you see air force pilots talking about UFOs – I love that stuff.
When alien abductees recount to me their stories, I do not deny that they had a real experience.
Walter Benjamin used to think that languages expand their register thanks to translation, because translation forces ways of using words and structures that were alien to the original speaker of the target language.
I’ve never actually seen a Star Trek, but I have seen an Alien movie.
Reilly Brown is a master of balancing action, humor, and extreme violence, and his character designs for some of the alien races and technology that we encounter is just amazing.
The concept of muse is alien to me. To speak of a muse implies there is a couple in which one person is the objectified passive element – there to help the creative, active, often male part of the duo to create. A muse is very passive. Who wants a muse? I don’t want a muse.
I kind of feel for the vegetable world – the vegetarian world. It’s almost as if people look at them like aliens or foreigners.
Alien abduction movies are always the scariest; no matter how cheesy they are, they still scare me for a week. I live by myself in my apartment, and I don’t worry about intruders or robbery; I mostly worry about alien abduction or evil, mean ghosts.
India is a little different from the developed world because discipline of any kind is alien to us. Along with the right to spit in public, we will resist all attempts to discipline our driving. As pedestrians, we will cross any road at will, and as cops, we will view traffic offences as business opportunities.
How can we protect homeland security unless the government stops the invasion of illegal aliens?
If I speak my version of Spanish in Spain, they laugh. Same with Mexico. It’s an alien world to me.
I want to do more sci-fi films. I want to play half-alien, half-illegal alien.
Dennis the Menace was probably the most realistic comic book ever done. No space aliens ever invaded!
China has existed within very roughly its present borders for over two millennia and for virtually the whole of that period saw itself as a ‘civilisation state.’ It was only when it was too weak to resist the western powers in the early 20th century that it finally acquiesced in an arrangement that was alien to it.
I think Russian people are learning that democracy is not an alien thing; it’s not a western invention.
I was born in 1973, so I did not see ‘Alien’ when it was released theatrically. I saw ‘Alien’ when it was on Home Box Office. I think I was probably 10.
I think there’s a chance that aliens might just see us as beef cattle, so that’s us done. Whether they would inhabit us in that way is pretty fanciful because they’d probably just get from us what they could, and then I just see us as fast food.
I did have an offer to direct one of the Alien movies but I wasn’t too excited about all the effects work.
The respect for human rights, essential if we are to use technology wisely, is not something alien that must be grafted onto science. On the contrary, it is integral to science, as also to scholarship in general.
‘Alien?’ Oh, yeah. I still get fanmail almost every week, pictures from all over the world on that movie. That’s one of the most popular films I’ve done.
Indie world won’t have me, and mainstream world treats me like an alien, but here I am still floating between these two worlds.
I believe in spirits. I believe in faith. I believe in spirituality. I believe in aliens as well.
Illegal aliens have broken our laws, and they shouldn’t be rewarded with amnesty and immediate legalization.
California has the highest number of illegal immigrants residing in its borders. The estimated number of illegal alien residents in California was about 2.2 million, or nearly 32 percent of the total number of illegal immigrants in the United States.
In the city that the wolf enters, enemies will be close by. An alien force will sack a great country. Allies will cross the mountains and the borders.
‘Falling Skies’ is not just about aliens attacking. It’s also about humanity, survival, hope and the determination to rebuild our world, starting from pretty much nothing.
Arizona has become a national leader in the restoration of the Rule of Law, with over 100,000 illegal aliens having left the state since 2007.
My dad used to tell me stories about aliens and UFOs when I was a kid and I was fascinated by science fiction and aliens.
I’ve always had creative freedom. Instrumental rock wasn’t really a genre, but the success of ‘Surfing With the Alien’ legitimized my approach.
I want to do straight, dramatic acting so I do a hit show when you get chased by aliens!
The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people.
I grew up watching ‘Star Trek.’ I love ‘Star Trek.’ ‘Star Trek’ made me want to see alien creatures, creatures from a far-distant world. But basically, I figured out that I could find those alien creatures right on Earth. And what I do is I study insects.
Film-makers are always going to be interested in making movies that plug into society around them. That’s what a vibrant, artistically alert community should be doing. After all, it would be sad if we only made films about alien robots.
Architecture produces a musical mood in our inner being, and we notice that even though the elements of architecture and music appear to be so alien in the outer world, through this musical mood engendered in us, our experience of architecture brings about a reconciliation, a balance between these two elements.
If I’m doing a play, 30 to 40 percent of the people that come to the stage door have pictures of ‘Alien’ for me to autograph. And usually, the photos are pretty gory ones.
Perhaps in ten thousand years, the starry sky that humankind gazes upon will remain empty and silent. But perhaps tomorrow we’ll wake up and find an alien spaceship the size of the Moon parked in orbit.
Anything that’s made by humans is about humans, whether it’s about gods or aliens or anything; it’s about some sort of expressive nature about us.
Let’s help take back our country with our wallets, and don’t forget to contact your senators and congressman to let them know that you don’t want amnesty for illegal aliens, that you want them to restore our borders and our sovereignty.
In the city that the wolf enters, enemies will be close by. An alien force will sack a great country. Allies will cross the mountains and the borders.
The law exists for a reason. There is a dominant American culture that people used to want to preserve. That’s going by the wayside, too. But if it’s now okay for an illegal alien to practice law in California, then can anybody else who’s broken the law get a law license? And if not, why not?
The first question we would ask if aliens landed on this planet is not, ‘What does this mean for the economy or jobs?’ It would be, ‘Are they friendly or unfriendly?’
‘Aquarian Conspiracy’ is the term I have coined for the network of people working for social transformation based on personal inner change. Such a notion is not at all alien to the American milieu.
‘The Wizard of Oz’ and ‘Alice in Wonderland’ inspired me. I wanted to take those themes and try to bring it into a more 21st story with aliens.
I’m interested in the essence of things. If you pare things down, what’s left? It’s like I’m trying to describe the soul to an alien.
I can’t take ‘The Room’ and show it to an agent and say, ‘Hey man, cast me in something.’ It’s an alien film.
I’ve always felt like an alien trapped in a human form. We all do at some time or other; for me it’s a permanent state, and I’m still unsure if Earth is a penance or a reward.
Mike Mignola’s ‘Hellboy’ was influenced by Lovecraft big time. He wanted to make his monsters Lovecraftian. But I think many other films have been influenced by Lovecraft – like ‘Alien,’ which is almost an outer-space version of ‘At The Mountains Of Madness.’
I feel… sexier, I think, with short hair. I feel like an alien!
I hear all the time that boys don’t like stories about girls. Which never made much sense to me. Wasn’t ‘Terminator’ about a girl? And ‘Alien’? Hell, I grew up on ‘The Wizard of Oz.’ People enjoy stories about anything if they’re good stories.
It’s funny. I did give birth to an alien on ‘The X-Files.’ And it’s just the teaser, so I’m dead before we even get into the episode.
I did not want ‘Battleship’ to be perceived as an American war film. I wanted to do everything I could to make the film accessible to a global audience. It felt like bringing an alien component to the film would help take the American jingoism out of it.
