I think movies are getting dumber, actually. Where it used to be 50/50, now it`s 3% good, 97% stupid.

Ridley Scott 83 quotes

I love different themes, diff...

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 83 quotes

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 83 quotes

The time it would take me to ...

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.

Ridley Scott 83 quotes

Because I was a kid from north of England, the only films I had access to was not alternative cinema, which in those days would be foreign cinema; I would be looking at all the Hollywood movies that arrived at my High Street.

Ridley Scott 83 quotes

If 'formulaic' is somebody wh...

If 'formulaic' is somebody who is unlikely to succeed starting down a process and succeeding - then isn't that what most films are about? And art films are about people who aren't likely to succeed and then don't succeed.

The 3D world allows you to engage even more with a film because you're somehow drawn into the landscape or the universe of that scene. Even when it's two people talking at a table, you feel like you're a third party.

Oddly enough, I find it quite engaging to be working with a female when I'm directing. It's kind of interesting.

The people who really resurrected 'Blade Runner' was 'MTV.'

It's very difficult to find good scripts in Hollywood any more.

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.

Ridley Scott 83 quotes

A word on 'Kingdom of Heaven:...

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.

Ridley Scott 83 quotes

I didn't want to go down the ...

I didn't want to go down the route of spending a year of my life making a movie that would never be seen. I may as well go down a route making a film that a lot of people will see, which is the whole idea behind cinema.

Ridley Scott 83 quotes

If you go back and look, a co...

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.

Ridley Scott 83 quotes

I think over time I've learned to stop being a screamer and get interactive; otherwise, you get killed in Hollywood. I stopped being a screamer shortly after 'Blade Runner,' kicking doors and things like that, because I wasn't actually getting anywhere.

The whole process of making movies and writing screenplays is visceral and intuitive.

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.

Ridley Scott 83 quotes

A good year for me is when me...

A good year for me is when me and my family are in good health. I'm just lucky to have good years doing something I like to do.

Ridley Scott 83 quotes

I always say to people when I...

I always say to people when I'm trying to get something going, bringing on other producers or other directors, "You can think of 95 reasons why not to make a movie. You've got to address why you want to make the movie and get it done. Just do it." I tend to live by that rule.

Ridley Scott 83 quotes

You've got to be able to know...

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 .
