I watched Someone to Watch Over Me the other night. I thought it was a really good movie. It's a great movie.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
Taking a comic strip character is very hard to write. Because comics are meant to work in one page, to work in frames with minimalistic dialogue. And a lot of it is left to the imagination of the reader. To do that in film, you've got to be a little more explanatory. And that requires a good screenplay and good dialogue.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I used to agonise over what to do next, but now I'm making a movie a year. It's insane, but it's only a movie after all. You just hang in there, and occasionally you might make something which you can call art... briefly.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
If you ever have a kid who doesn't know what to do, stick him in art school. It's amazing what evolves.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
Your landscape in a western is one of the most important characters the film has. The best westerns are about man against his own landscape.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
The whole process of making movies and writing screenplays is visceral and intuitive.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
What you do, is you gradually become more and more experienced, and more and more realistic about dramatic tolerance, i.e. about how long the play should be.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I think Phil Dick was particularly interesting in that, first of all, he was a very modern man and a very modern thinker, but I don't know what demons drove him.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
Once, I got slaughtered after 'Blade Runner' by Pauline Kael: three pages of slaughter. I was so offended, I would never read any more press.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I don't get attached to anything. I'm like a good antique dealer. I'm prepared to sell my most valuable table.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
If you circle above Central Park at night in a helicopter, you're looking down at the most expensive real estate in the world. It's the American Monopoly board.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
There are some moments that are pretty distressing in 'Prometheus.' In fact, the last hour is pretty distressing.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
'Alien' is a C film elevated to an A film, honestly, by it being well done and a great monster. If it hadn't had that great monster, even with a wonderful cast, it wouldn't have been as good, I don't think.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I've gradually realised that what I do best is universes. And I shouldn't be afraid of that.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I grew up in the North of England at a time when Stirling Moss was a hero. Everyone wanted to be a racing driver.
Quote by -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 would be writer.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
Stanley Kubrick's '2001' was the door that opened up the possibility of science fiction for me. Everything else up to then was fine, but didn't quite work for me.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
A word on 'Kingdom of Heaven:' if you get the four-disc set, which is 3 hr. 8 min., you'll see why it's such a good movie. It was a real passion project, and it's the film I'm most proud of. I think it was treated incredibly unfairly.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
If you go back and look, a completely underrated film is 'Quest for Fire.' That was one of the most genius, simplistic but incredibly sophisticated notion of what it was. The evolution of that was just fantastic.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I've got many letters from Muslim organizations thanking me for making 'Kingdom of Heaven.'
Quote by -Ridley Scott
Blade Runner appears regularly, two or three times a year in various shapes and forms of science fiction. It set the pace for what is essentially urban science fiction, urban future and it's why I've never re-visited that area because I feel I've done it.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
If somebody's given me X amount of dollars to fulfill a dream, they've got every right to actually say something about it.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
MPC, Moving Picture Company, they're really excellent, they did the majority of the effects.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I try to make films, not movies. I've never liked the expression 'movie', but it sounds elitist to say that.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I would make a film with a political point of view if I agreed with it, and even, perhaps, if I didn't.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
For 'Prometheus,' I came back to a very simple question that haunted me that appears in the first 'Alien,' and no one answered in subsequent Alien films: who was the 'Space Jockey' - the big guy in the seat? If you really go into that, it becomes the basis for a pretty interesting story.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I want a certificate that allows me to make as big a box office as possible.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
If studios don't get their money back, we don't have any movies. So it is important that films are successful, and I am fully supportive of that because I'm not just a director, I'm also not stupid. I've been in this business long enough and, to a certain extent, I'm a businessman; I know the importance of that.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
The U.K. has to keep investing in new technology, skills, and infrastructure to keep pace with international competition.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I come out of TV. I come out of live television, BBC drama: that's where I started first as a designer, then a director. Then I went independent TV, then television advertising.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
One of the problems with science fiction, which is probably one of the reasons why I haven't done one for many, many years, is the fact that everything is used up. Every type of spacesuit is used up, every type of spacecraft is vaguely familiar, the corridors are similar, and the planets are similar.
