“[At the time I made Blade Runner], I’m in three movies. I mean [Blade Runner] is my third movie. My first movie is pretty good actually, called The Duellists. And that was criticized for being too beautiful, and you know, I took that to heart. So the next one was Alien, and that was less beautiful but more impressive and more grungy. I was criticized for a lack of character development. I said, “What fucking character development do you need when you’ve got that son of a bitch on board?” [thx pmarca]
