“Dad never understood why Ridley wanted to go to art school, and then I...” — Tony Scott Quote

“Dad never understood why Ridley wanted to go to art school, and then I came along six years later and wanted to do the same thing.”

“We come from a tough, working class background, so we're very tight.”

“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'm creative. I can't relax unless I've got some project on the go. I'm somebody from art school, and art school during the punk era, when you just had a go at whatever came along.”

“Realities are what we make them, but commonly, once you leave art school, you spend a lot of time in a studio on your own, and I could see how badly that would go for me. I found that in theatre, I could explore similar stuff, but that there would have to be other people around.”

“When I was a young kid at art school, I loved the sensual geometry of Poliakoff, which, of course, is inherent in my own work.”
