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.

A hit for me is if I enjoy the movie, if I personally enjoy the movie.
Ridley Scott

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

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

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.

Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find?
Ridley Scott
Image
Good FBI officers are not noticeable. You would never look at them.
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

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.
Ridley Scott

The whole process of making movies and writing screenplays is visceral and intuitive.
Ridley Scott
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I don't ever blink, honestly.
Ridley Scott
Image
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
Image
I think moviemakers are dramatists.
Ridley Scott
Image
Some actors - you work with them once and don't even think about working with them again.
Ridley Scott
Image
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
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.

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.

I'm a moviemaker, not a documentarian. I try to hit the truth.
