Yeah, it seems fairly clear that what Ridley Scott is discussing, are scenes deleted from the Feature for Story reasons, not cuts for Editing reasons. 
What the interviewer seems literally fixated on is trying to get him to say that there will be a Director's cut - apparently based on an assumption that there [i]is[/i] a fat juicy, "Original Cut" waiting somewhere, perhaps because Scott has done it before - and, I suppose, he wants the scoop. 
He keeps coming back to it, in those terms - no matter how many times it's answered.
Ridley talks in his usual circles a little bit, by way of answering that the released film [i]is[/i] the Director's cut and all this additional stuff people are discussing will be Extras, [u]not[/u] added back to the Feature as, "he's so happy", with it right now. 
Well, I'm glad he's happy as well. However, I will remain astonished that he is.
