Yeah, we're working on Blade Runner 2 right now - that will happen sooner or later.

Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find?

Blade Runner was the godfather of all these fantastic movies that occur today. What's frustrating is that we're short of really great writing and great ideas. Blade Runner was full of them.

It doesn't matter how much faith you have or don't have [in aliens]. I just don't buy the idea that we're alone. There's got to be some form of life out there.

In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.

I think one of the successes of Gladiator is how we manage to turn on a dime the character from one thing to another where you believe he is one thing and he is something very different.

There is no creation without tradition. No one creates from nothing.

It’s less the words they say than those they leave unsaid that split old friends apart.

There's already been black presidents who've been corrupt, so it doesn't strike me that having a black man in office means he's going to be the Messiah.

It's good to have a short memory because it keeps life fresh.

In short, [photography] is a matter of turning loneliness into thoughts.
