Ridley Scott Quotations | Page 3

I was a very earnest, hard working boy at school, but my parents were distressed because I was always bottom of the class. But I wasn't dilatory, I worked like crazy.

I think I was really bored at school. I was quietly clock watching for years. I went to 10 schools because my dad was in the Army and we moved around a lot.

I went to Art College and during the summer I made a movie with my brother. I got hold of a little camera, wrote a script and dragged my brother, Tony, out of bed to help me (which he did not like), so that we could shoot a film every day for six weeks. It was made for £65 and it was called Boy On A Bicycle.

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.

I'm very competitive. I just go with what engages or fascinates me in my work and that's it. I have no definition; I just love to do it.

If I have to, I'll go and direct theater and talk till the cows come home.

I get so used to working with writers that my prime occupation is development.

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.

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

Yeah, we're working on [Blade Runner 2] right now - that will happen sooner or later.
