I think it's my nature to try and make original content, and that's what I've done, is just try and approach things in an original way, and do things differently.

More quotes by Darren Aronofsky
I try to live my life where I end up at a point where I have no regrets. So I try to choose the road that I have the most passion on because then you can never really blame yourself for making the wrong choices. You can always say you're following your passion.
Darren Aronofsky
I was a TV junkie as a kid. I am the Sesame Street generation.
Darren Aronofsky
To me, watching a movie is like going to an amusement park. My worst fear is making a film that people don't think is a good ride.
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
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 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
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
I think video games and that stuff should be as violent as possible, but age-appropriate. It should be realistic. When it's not realistic you run into kids running around shooting people and not realizing the consequences.
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
It's not that much of a difference. Basically, your job is the same as a film director. It's a triangle between creativity, money, and time. But they don't really change. You're ultimately trying to get the most creativity and time with the money that you have.
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
I think people are people and if their feelings are real and truthful, they can connect.
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
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 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
Casting ethnic characters is a very hard thing to do, but it's important. It's also interesting.
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
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
But steady-cams are very different than hand-helds, because hand-held gives you that verite feel.
Darren Aronofsky
Animators have to live life 24 times as long as we do - every 24 frames of a second.
Darren Aronofsky
