Tony Scott's quotes

• [on Ridley Scott] Nobody does toga movies like my brother.
• [on Tom Cruise] A magnet for women.
• (The studio) saw a cut of The Hunger (1983) and all of a sudden my parking spot at Warner Brothers was painted out.
• The biggest edge I live on is directing. That's the most scary, dangerous thing you can do in your life.
• The scariest thing in my life is the first morning of production on all my movies. It's the fear of failing, the loss of face, and a sense of guilt that everybody puts their faith in you and not coming through?
• I like changing the pace of my life, changing my discipline. It gives me ideas for how to see the world differently.
• Ridley makes films for posterity. My films are more rock 'n' roll.
• [on Top Gun (1986) and similar films] I see these pilots as rock 'n' roll stars of the skies. I see deep blue skies and silver steel. I hear the rock music and smell the jet fuel. I love shooting real things in the real world.
• The Fan (1996) was a go project and I wanted to work with Bobby DeNiro. I didn't have much interest in the script originally. In fact I'd passed on it twice before. But I very much wanted to work with Robert De Niro.
