Zitat des Tages von Tony Scott:
I'm a plagiarist - I always look back at other movies, and I steal, but I steal well, and I reinvent.
GM is a highly collaborative organization; we rely on a whole tier of suppliers for everything that we do.
I think we're lucky because there are very few people in life who get to do what we're doing.
Mum was the matriarch and the patriarch of the family.
I have a short attention span.
Dad was a very gentle, sweet man.
The world is sick of big IT things that don't work.
All my movies, like Revenge, are under two hours.
We don't ever want IT to be the thing that holds GM back.
Ridley and I talk every day. Our family is very close because we're from North England.
I thought that subtitles are boring because they're there generally to serve us with information to make you understand what people are saying in a different language.
There's one great script that hit my desk that I didn't change at all, and that was True Romance.
We come from a tough, working class background, so we're very tight.
A lot of actors talk about doing their homework, but very few of them do it.
We think of enterprise architecture as the process we use for fully describing and mapping business functionality and business requirements and relating them to information systems requirements.
We had a brilliant upbringing, and we never wanted for anything, even though we went through highs and lows of finances.
What always leads me in terms of my movies are characters.
The true excitement comes from the actors - that gives you the true drama - and whatever I can do with the camera, that's icing on the cake.
I wake up every morning bolt upright, whether it's a commercial, not that that's a good thing or a bad thing, because I shoot commercials in between movies. But whether it's a commercial or a movie where I'm shooting a major train wreck, the thing that worries me most is when I'm doing a performance thing.
I always get everyone prepared so there aren't so many arguments on set. I have a policy that the first thing I do in the morning is go over to the trailers and discuss exactly what we're shooting that day. It's time-consuming, but it reduces the chances of 'misunderstandings' on set.
The real world has always been far more exciting and funny and dangerous to me than anything somebody could conjure up sitting in front of a computer.
An established film director can just pick up the phone and say to a star, 'Hey, are you interested in doing a commercial?'
I can't sit on my bum very long in a movie theater seat, and when I'm directing, I always want to move the camera or edit.
At one time, I would actually ride around to movie theaters to check the lines.
