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 think moviemakers are dramatists.
Ridley Scott
I don't ever blink, honestly.

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
My career seems to be a career of non-specific subjects which are all over the place.

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

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
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
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
I'm a moviemaker, not a documentarian. I try to hit the truth.
Ridley Scott
That's part of the policy: To keep switching gears.
Ridley Scott
When you're doing a big movie, you're gone for 10 months to a year.
Ridley Scott
I was always amazed about how much I could finally squeeze into a thirty second commercial.
