Working with Ridley is working with one of the great filmmakers and one of the great raconteurs. You know, it's like, a dinner with Ridley Scott or a dinner with Martin Scorsese? You just want to cut your arm off to get those.

Martin Scorsese is one of the great filmmakers of all time.

If Martin Scorsese thinks you stink, you stink.

If you want to recapture your youth, just cut off his allowance.

I had to comes to terms with that with Martin Scorsese,

Cinema is a visual language, and you're always looking for visual metaphors for things. You know, if I was writing a play about Howard Hughes, I could have him give a monologue about how he's terrified to touch a doorknob. But on screen, you know, working with Marty Scorsese in 'The Aviator,' that became the series of images that told a story.
