I'm a moviemaker, not a documentarian. I try to hit the truth.
Ridley Scott
Image
I don't ever blink, honestly.
Ridley Scott
Image
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

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

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
Image
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.

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 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
Image
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
Image
And I maintain good relationships with all the studios so I've never been bullied into any cut, frankly.
Ridley Scott
Image
My career seems to be a career of non-specific subjects which are all over the place.
Ridley Scott
Image
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.

When you're doing a big movie, you're gone for 10 months to a year.
Ridley Scott
Image
The whole process of making movies and writing screenplays is visceral and intuitive.
Ridley Scott
Image
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 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.

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

I believe all of us only use one tenth of our brain. I know people who use one per cent only!
