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 .

Some people like to do everything always the same thing. That's another way: To do the same thing.

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.

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.

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

I don't ever blink, honestly.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
