Ridley Scott Science Quotations

In science fiction, we're always searching for new frontiers. We're drawn to the unknown.

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.

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.

Doing science fiction at a high level is tricky. It's really tricky.

I am a science fiction enthusiast, really, deep down.

I think if I'm going to do a science fiction, I'm going to go down a new path that I want to do.

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.
