I respond to the call that says, "It`s 185 A.D. You`re a Roman general. You`re being directed by Ridley Scott." That`s something my imagination can get a hold of. [on what attracts him to prospective films]
Russell Crowe
The thing with Ridley [Scott] is he`s been doing this forever, he knows what it is he wants and how to get it. There`s absolutely no messing around on set. Having said that, he`s very accessible to actors, very open to what you want to do and willing to t...
Orlando Bloom
Making movies is hard. If you can avoid working you should do it. Ridley [Scott] can`t take more than two weeks between movies or he starts going bananas. I don`t understand those guys at all. You have to get up at five o`clock in the morning, it`s politi...
Andrew Dominik
I have always been a huge fan of Ridley Scott and certainly when I was a kid. Alien, Blade Runner just blew me away because they created these extraordinary worlds that were just completely immersive. I was also an enormous Stanley Kubrick fan for similar...

Alexander Siddig

Paul W. S. Anderson

Javier Bardem
They`re both such great directors. Ridley, of course, is very visual; he brings a world of visual creativity to the work, as well as great emotional truth and sincerity. And Scorsese is just great as the synapses flash in his mind - you just stand there a...
John Logan
I`m so happy to have been a part of that process and I would go straight back into the desert in a ton of chain mail for Ridley any day of the week. He`s an amazing director and I can`t wait to see the long version.
