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 don't like alien films where you don't get to see the aliens.

'Alien' is a C film elevated to an A film, honestly, by it being well done and a great monster. If it hadn't had that great monster, even with a wonderful cast, it wouldn't have been as good, I don't think.

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

'Alien' is a landmark. One of the really good science-fiction films.

I've never actually seen a Star Trek, but I have seen an Alien movie.

Normally I avoid movies where the aliens look like humans. It's cheesy.

Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.

The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element.

They asked if I was interested in a role as a large alien in a movie.
