More quotes by Ridley Scott
When you're doing a big movie, you're gone for 10 months to a year.
Ridley Scott
In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.
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
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
I don't ever blink, honestly.
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.
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
A hit for me is if I enjoy the movie, if I personally enjoy the movie.
Ridley Scott
Some people like to do everything always the same thing. That's another way: To do the same thing.
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
Never be put off by anything because failure teaches you something.
Ridley Scott
That's part of the policy: To keep switching gears.
Ridley Scott
Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find?
Ridley Scott
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
Nowadays, everything's evolved into superheroes and it's boring. If I see one more superhero movie I'm going to shoot myself.
Ridley Scott
Yeah, we're working on Blade Runner 2 right now - that will happen sooner or later.
Ridley Scott
I believe all of us only use one tenth of our brain. I know people who use one per cent only!
Ridley Scott
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.
Ridley Scott
I'm a moviemaker, not a documentarian. I try to hit the truth.
Ridley Scott
My career seems to be a career of non-specific subjects which are all over the place.
Ridley Scott
