Ridley ScottI think going into space would be like going deep into the ocean, like 5,000 meters down. When you go down that far, it's just awfully black.

Ridley ScottI think movies are getting dumber, actually. Where it used to be 50/50, now it`s 3% good, 97% stupid.
Ridley ScottSame thing with film, by the time you've finished shooting and you've really been into everything, you've touched up everything in the editing room. You've gone in there and taken little bits from everything.
