It goes back a long way. I wanted to make Tristan + Isolde as my second movie. My first movie was The Duellists. And I was standing in a very romantic part of France looking around me thinking, My God, this would be perfect for Tristan, and to cut a long story short it never happened because I did Alien instead.

My career seems to be a career of non-specific subjects which are all over the place.

I love different themes, different venues, different movies. I love to jump about and tackle different subjects. I have no intellectual master plan.

I think there's nothing worse than inertia. You can inert and study your navel and gradually you'll fall off the chair. I think the key is to keep flying.

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.

It doesn't matter how much faith you have or don't have [in aliens]. I just don't buy the idea that we're alone. There's got to be some form of life out there.

Yeah, we're working on Blade Runner 2 right now - that will happen sooner or later.

There's a little thing on your shoulder called intuition and it whispers in your ear. Everyone has that, there is a voice telling you to do something. Most people ignore it - but you must listen to it. I do it every day, all day.

I don't ever blink, honestly.

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

And I maintain good relationships with all the studios so I've never been bullied into any cut, frankly.

Never be put off by anything because failure teaches you something.

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 .

I think going into space would be like going deep into the ocean, like 5,000 meters down. When you go down that far, it's just awfully black. There's not much there except mud and some particles. I imagine space would be a similar thing. The only difference is you're hoping to bump into some sort of intelligent extraterritorial being.

I think moviemakers are dramatists.

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.

That's part of the policy: To keep switching gears.

It's everything and I always make decisions about the cast.

Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find?

When you're doing a big movie, you're gone for 10 months to a year.
