Every film had its own grammar. And it's your job as a director to basically figure out a language to tell a story.

More quotes by 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
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
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 think I came to film-making through writing. I started to write, and people, teachers, responded to my writing.
Darren Aronofsky
I've spent a life loving women and studying them as much as I can, or am allowed to.
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
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
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 couldn't sleep one night and I was sitting in my office and I realized that I was an independent filmmaker.
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
I was always writing about the connection between man and nature. I grew up in a neighborhood that was right on the beach, but the beach was not like a beach you would imagine - there was a lot of pollution. And the most magical thing to me as a kid was sea glass, so I wrote about that a lot.
Darren Aronofsky
My god is narrative filmmaking.
Darren Aronofsky
I think people are people and if their feelings are real and truthful, they can connect.
Darren Aronofsky
Casting ethnic characters is a very hard thing to do, but it's important. It's also interesting.
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
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
Animators have to live life 24 times as long as we do - every 24 frames of a second.
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 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
