More quotes by Ridley Scott
You've got to be able to know someone really well to be able to have a row and then also walk away from it and not have it matter, especially in this business. That doesn't mean to say we have many rows but I think the nearest thing to a row would be just flatly disagreeing with something .
Ridley Scott
I'm a moviemaker, not a documentarian. I try to hit the truth.
Ridley Scott
You step forward and make it real for a start. You choose a sensible moment in history. Funnily enough, England was bankrupt and the moment is the death of Richard The Lionheart... Richard takes an arrow in the neck collecting a small debt from a small castle on his way home from the Crusades because he's penniless.
Ridley Scott

I went to Art College and during the summer I made a movie with my brother. I got hold of a little camera, wrote a script and dragged my brother, Tony, out of bed to help me (which he did not like), so that we could shoot a film every day for six weeks. It was made for £65 and it was called Boy On A Bicycle.
Ridley Scott
I was always amazed about how much I could finally squeeze into a thirty second commercial.
Ridley Scott
Some actors - you work with them once and don't even think about working with them again.
Ridley Scott
You don't really know what you're going to get until you're actually in Abbey Road. That's where I did all the music, in The Beatles' place.
Ridley Scott
I think if I'm going to do a science fiction, I'm going to go down a new path that I want to do.
Ridley Scott
Everyone sniggered because I was going to do a sandal and toga movie. But I knew exactly how to do it and I know how to make Robin Hood.
Ridley Scott
That's part of the policy: To keep switching gears.
Ridley Scott
In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.
Ridley Scott
I believe all of us only use one tenth of our brain. I know people who use one per cent only!
Ridley Scott
I don't ever blink, honestly.
Ridley Scott
The time it would take me to write a screenplay it would take me the time to make two films. I would rather make the movies and I'm a better moviemaker than I a would be writer.
Ridley Scott
And I maintain good relationships with all the studios so I've never been bullied into any cut, frankly.
Ridley Scott
