Good FBI officers are not noticeable. You would never look at them.
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 do like to make films with a political theme, but sometimes it's nice simply to make people laugh. That's the hardest thing to do in fact.
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
When you're doing a big movie, you're gone for 10 months to a year.
Ridley Scott
Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find?
Ridley Scott
I think moviemakers are dramatists.
Ridley Scott
Some actors - you work with them once and don't even think about working with them again.
Ridley Scott
Usually, when special effects get in the way, it's because the story isn't strong enough. If you don't start with a strong screenplay, it's easy to fall back on special effects, thinking it's going to carry you. But it never works. It's just tiresome.
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
But Gladiator is one of my favourite adventures because I really loved going into the world. I loved creating the world to the degree where you could almost smell it.
Ridley Scott
Audiences are less intrigued, honestly, by battle. They're more intrigued by human relations. If you're making a film about the trappings of the period, and you're forgetting that human relationships are the most engaging part of the storytelling process, then you're in trouble.
Ridley Scott
And I maintain good relationships with all the studios so I've never been bullied into any cut, frankly.
Ridley Scott
I spend a lot of my time just developing material or the company does. That material can come from a book, can come from a newspaper, can come from a discussion and sometimes it can come from a script that got passed over and is floating around.
Ridley Scott
Yeah, we're working on Blade Runner 2 right now - that will happen sooner or later.
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 also love Australian movies. I love Muriel's Wedding - I've seen in six times. Baz Luhrmann's best movie is strictly ballroom... without question.
Ridley Scott
Nowadays, everything's evolved into superheroes and it's boring. If I see one more superhero movie I'm going to shoot myself.
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
Some people like to do everything always the same thing. That's another way: To do the same thing.
