A Quote by Sigourney Weaver

In Yale they convinced me I had no talent, even though I was always working. They cast me mostly as prostitutes and old women, and I stayed because I loved the writers. I loved Chris Durang and Wendy Wasserstein. I was always doing their work in the Yale Cabaret.

After I left Yale, we were all doing these mad plays off - off Broadway.
