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.

More quotes by Ridley Scott
Never be put off by anything because failure teaches you something.
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
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.
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 love different themes, different venues, different movies. I love to jump about and tackle different subjects. I have no intellectual master plan.
Ridley Scott
I'm a moviemaker, not a documentarian. I try to hit the truth.
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
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
It's everything and I always make decisions about the cast.
Ridley Scott
Some people like to do everything always the same thing. That's another way: To do the same thing.
Ridley Scott
And I maintain good relationships with all the studios so I've never been bullied into any cut, frankly.
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
Some actors - you work with them once and don't even think about working with them again.
Ridley Scott
When you're doing a big movie, you're gone for 10 months to a year.
Ridley Scott
Yeah, we're working on Blade Runner 2 right now - that will happen sooner or later.
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
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
I believe all of us only use one tenth of our brain. I know people who use one per cent only!
Ridley Scott
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.
Ridley Scott
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.
Ridley Scott
