I will always think of Ridley Scott as a director even though he writes and produces. 

“I like working on all kinds of things, whether its producing or directing,” he said. “I was working on the script of ‘Alien’ at 6 this morning because I woke up with this leg throbbing, so I get up at 5 and go to my office and go through a ritual. I’m actually a good morning person.”

David Carr’s interivew with Ridley Scott is a good read for anyone who is a fan or should be a fan. Click on Scott’s picture to get to the New York Times article.
