More quotes by Darren Aronofsky
I couldn't sleep one night and I was sitting in my office and I realized that I was an independent filmmaker.
Darren Aronofsky
I think it's important as a filmmaker, as any person working in the arts, that you've got to try new stuff and challenge yourself and take chances.
Darren Aronofsky
I think people are people and if their feelings are real and truthful, they can connect.
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
I've spent a life loving women and studying them as much as I can, or am allowed to.
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
I'm not a comic book guy at all.
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 don't make films that are easy to market, unfortunately. I think that 'Pi' was the easiest one, because we had that symbol to stick up everywhere, so that was a good gimmick, and created a good mystery, and we didn't have to do huge scale.
Darren Aronofsky
My god is narrative filmmaking.
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 was 12 or 13 years old. So I started to write poetry and fiction, even though I was really into biology because my dad was a science teacher. I kept writing all those years.
Darren Aronofsky
I was a TV junkie as a kid. I am the Sesame Street generation.
Darren Aronofsky
Noah was this sort of patron saint in my life. When I finished Pi and I started to think about what was next, I was like, Wow, it's interesting that no one has done a film of one of the greatest stories ever told. Even if you're not a Jew, a Muslim, or a Christian, you likely have a flood story in your culture.
Darren Aronofsky
I had some big ups and downs when I was in my 20s and the one thing I learned was, no matter how low it gets, something good will come along - something always comes out of that dark period.
Darren Aronofsky
But steady-cams are very different than hand-helds, because hand-held gives you that verite feel.
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
Also expressionistic filmmaking - making the audience feel like they were inside the characters' heads. And so we create all these different types of techniques to put the audience there.
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
I have a team, the same team of filmmakers I worked with on 'Pi' and 'Requiem'. Which is my cameraman, and my composer, and my producer. We've all worked together for a number of films.
Darren Aronofsky
