More quotes by Darren Aronofsky
I've spent a life loving women and studying them as much as I can, or am allowed to.
Darren Aronofsky
I think people are people and if their feelings are real and truthful, they can connect.
Darren Aronofsky
Every film had its own grammar. And it's your job as a director to basically figure out a language to tell a story.
Darren Aronofsky
Classical scores go up and down they're kind of hysterical in a way. And movie scores are much more - they just drive and move forward, and they build and can't go up and down at that same speed. It's a big job to turn that into something that pushes the movie along.
Darren Aronofsky
It would be nice to make a movie that other people want to make, because every one of these movies, I basically have to find the only company in the world that's willing to make it, and it's always a big challenge. I end up spending a tremendous amount of energy and time trying to get money to make these movies and it's exhausting.
Darren Aronofsky
I think I came to film-making through writing. I started to write, and people, teachers, responded to my writing.
Darren Aronofsky
My god is narrative filmmaking.
Darren Aronofsky
These wrestlers aren't organized. They have no union, no pension and no insurance. You meet wrestler after wrestler who sold out Madison Square Garden ten years ago, basically running on fumes today. There's a lot of drama there.
Darren Aronofsky
You hear stories about directors using manipulation to get actors to do certain things, but I think when you're working with professional actors, it's all about trust. They can do anything you want, it's just a matter of them understanding what you're looking for, and the reason why.
Darren Aronofsky
I think people are people and, if their feelings are truthful, they can connect. It doesn't matter if you're an aging, 50-something wrestler at the end of his career, or an ambitious, 20-something ballet dancer.
Darren Aronofsky
I was a TV junkie as a kid. I am the Sesame Street generation.
Darren Aronofsky
I hope that Requiem is better than Pi. I hope that Pi is better than my student films, and I'm hoping that I'm getting better as I get older.
Darren Aronofsky
I'm not a comic book guy at all.
Darren Aronofsky
The '90s were a party, I mean definitely maybe not for the grunge movement, but people were partying harder in the '90s than they were in the '80s. The '90s was Ecstasy, the '80s was yuppies. There was that whole Ecstasy culture. People were having a pretty good time in the '90s.
Darren Aronofsky
Now there is so much expertise and brainpower it's hard to be at the cutting edge of what's cool and not do something that's totally geeky.
Darren Aronofsky
When people think about the ark, they're always thinking about all the thousands of years of religious iconography of a ship with a bow and a deck, where Noah and the giraffes could walk around. In the actual written text it is basically described as a long, rectangular box.
Darren Aronofsky
Casting ethnic characters is a very hard thing to do, but it's important. It's also interesting.
Darren Aronofsky
As filmmakers, we can show where a person's mind goes, as opposed to theater, which is more to sit back and watch it.
Darren Aronofsky
Film is a great tool to play with time, going back and forth through time, or speeding time up and slowing it down and do stuff like that. That's something you can't experience in real life that you can experience on film, and it takes you to a different place.
Darren Aronofsky
But steady-cams are very different than hand-helds, because hand-held gives you that verite feel.
Darren Aronofsky
