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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

I'm a moviemaker, not a documentarian. I try to hit the truth.
Ridley Scott
Image
My career seems to be a career of non-specific subjects which are all over the place.
Ridley Scott

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

Good FBI officers are not noticeable. You would never look at them.
Ridley Scott
Image
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.

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.

I was always amazed about how much I could finally squeeze into a thirty second commercial.
