Pretty sure that end comment is something we've already heard.
Not the exact wording, but she spoke of Alien 5 being the “most satisfying” ending of the story.

What were Cameron's and Ridley's reaction to Alien3?

Cameron admired the artistry, but thought they made a bad move narratively by killing his characters.

I haven't heard what Scott thought of it. Come to think of it, I don't think I've heard him talk negatively about any specific film before. Closest I remember is (paraphrasing) 'if I have to see one more superhero movie I'm gonna tear my head off''.

(paraphrasing) 'if I have to see one more superhero movie I'm gonna tear my head off''. 

He said that?  LOL. He really said something like that?  You ROCK! Sir Riddles.  Man, I totally get what he means.  All these mindless spectacles from Marvel are so shallow and brain dead.  Except I'd take what he 'said' just that teensy weensy one step further: "If I have to see one more superhero movie I'm gonna tear my head off and shit down my own neck!"  Yeah.  I guess you wanna see me do that now, huh.

HAHA!  Me too, kind of.

Yeah, I don't think he ever said anything negative about Alien 3. One of his boys, Jake Scott, worked on Alien 3 as an concept artist. Ridley also visited the Alien 3 set during filming.

But I can tell you about his reaction to AvP: 

“Peter vs. Charles: [Ridley] wanted to use Weyland as a conduit in the story,” explained Damon Lindelof, “and was not at all interested when I said, ‘You know, Weyland was a character in one of the Alien vs. Predator movies.’ He just sort of looked at me like I had just slapped him in the face. That was the beginning, middle, and end of all Alien vs. Predator references in our story process.”

Lindelof said he feels that Scott was disappointed that Fincher wasn't allowed to do what Fincher does, on Alien 3.

Sigourney talking about the Blomkamp movie. The script is "amazing" and innovative. #SDCC #Aliens30th

Both Sigourney Weaver & @JimCameron say @NeillBlomkamp's Alien script is "amazing, performs fan service & should be made. #Aliens30th #sdcc

Holy shit! James Cameron endorses Neill's script. That's f**king amazing.

How hard was it to give the fans what they wanted in '92, Fox? You've always gotta give the audience what they want, but in new and unexpected ways.

talk from a source that Oscar nominated screenwriter @TerriTatchell might be co-writing #Alien5 #District9

https://twitter.com/_ChristopherM/status/760161763119669249

She co-wrote Chappie and District 9 with Blomkamp.

[BishopShouldGo]

I can tell that she'll nail Ripley.

[The Eighth Passenger]

Not surprising, she is his wife after all and the person who convinced him to do a Alien film in the first place.

"You know they're going to make another one. It picks up right where Aliens ended. I don't know if I'm going to be in a baggie or how I'm going to be in it."

"Blomkamp is a really wonderful, wonderful writer. I have a feeling that if he did it, it would be something spectacular. And there's an audience for it."

Henriksen still not contacted about Alien 5 or seen the script.
