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.

More quotes by Ridley Scott
Never be put off by anything because failure teaches you something.
Ridley Scott
It's everything and I always make decisions about the cast.
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
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 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 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.
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
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
Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find?
Ridley Scott
Some actors - you work with them once and don't even think about working with them again.
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
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.
Ridley Scott
When you're doing a big movie, you're gone for 10 months to a year.
Ridley Scott
The whole process of making movies and writing screenplays is visceral and intuitive.
Ridley Scott
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.
Ridley Scott
That's part of the policy: To keep switching gears.
Ridley Scott
Yeah, we're working on Blade Runner 2 right now - that will happen sooner or later.
Ridley Scott
Good FBI officers are not noticeable. You would never look at them.
Ridley Scott
My career seems to be a career of non-specific subjects which are all over the place.
Ridley Scott
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.
