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.

More quotes by 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
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
That's part of the policy: To keep switching gears.
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
The whole process of making movies and writing screenplays is visceral and intuitive.
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
Yeah, we're working on Blade Runner 2 right now - that will happen sooner or later.
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 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 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
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
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 don't ever blink, honestly.
Ridley Scott
It's everything and I always make decisions about the cast.
Ridley Scott
Some people like to do everything always the same thing. That's another way: To do the same thing.
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
You step forward and make it real for a start. You choose a sensible moment in history. Funnily enough, England was bankrupt and the moment is the death of Richard The Lionheart... Richard takes an arrow in the neck collecting a small debt from a small castle on his way home from the Crusades because he's penniless.
Ridley Scott
A hit for me is if I enjoy the movie, if I personally enjoy the movie.
Ridley Scott
Good FBI officers are not noticeable. You would never look at them.
Ridley Scott
And I maintain good relationships with all the studios so I've never been bullied into any cut, frankly.
