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.

More quotes by 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
Animators have to live life 24 times as long as we do - every 24 frames of a second.
Darren Aronofsky
I think people are people and if their feelings are real and truthful, they can connect.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
I was a TV junkie as a kid. I am the Sesame Street generation.
Darren Aronofsky
'Angel Heart' was one of my favorite films.
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'm not a comic book guy at all.
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 only want to work with actors that really get it and make it work. I didn't want it to be a star-driven thing anymore.
Darren Aronofsky
I wasn't a big fan of social anthropology. And, luckily, that created room for me to work in visual arts because I sort of ignored my requirements. I think I was attracted to social anthropology because I liked to travel and was always interested in far-off places.
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 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
