More quotes by Nicolas Winding Refn
In the end, we're just showmen. But, I think that it's an important factor. Not to be anything else but clear about that - for me, creativity is an important part of our evolution. Art has probably done more good for the world than war. But they're equally powerful. They both create revolutions.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I can't make a film that I don't feel comfortable with.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I very much enjoy my freedom creatively but I also would love to make one of those big Hollywood films that costs a lot of money and has a lot of people running around with cell phones and all that insanity.
Nicolas Winding Refn
For me, Amazon has stepped in and presented the future of entertainment. Obviously, the future of entertainment is going to be on the internet.
Nicolas Winding Refn
The artificial world that we create through images will essentially become real.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I've been trying to get away from physical violence it's too easy it doesn't satisfy me artistically to work with it. Dramatic violence is much more interesting, but it's much more difficult.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Narcissism as a virtue is very futuristic. Narcissism as a quality is where I think things are heading.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I was in Hollywood. It's the mythology heart. It's where all the European films came in the '30s and '40s. The marriage between Europe and Hollywood has always been the best when it works.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I never desired to really go to Hollywood and make films, and purely because I want my entire control, which I'm used to having.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I don't drive because I failed eight times and never got my license.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I sometimes play different kinds of music to see where the performers end up. I play one genre. Then something else when I do it again. It really helps.
Nicolas Winding Refn
When we met, my agenda was Get Elle Fanning. I believe Elle's was Get the role. But we didn't know that.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I've never really been on a date, because I've been with the same girl since my early twenties, but on our first date, I showed her The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. I was like, Hey, you've got to see this! And we've been together ever since.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I think when you make a movie, one of your main focuses as a director is to inspire everyone else to give their best. Like manipulation.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Love comes from the strangest places.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Doing your first film, it's very important that it's a commercial success, because that gives you a couple times to experiment until you have to hit the jackpot again.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I don't know if power seduces less or more. I think power is a constant evolving mechanism that, since the dawn of time, on one level corrupts and on another level does not. But I think, no matter what, mutates.
Nicolas Winding Refn
That's half of what we do our daily lives - we react to our surroundings. Of course, we have to make it entertaining, and we are entertainers.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I am not a fan of improvisation, because it bores me. Working off a tight scenario gives you the confidence and ability to - why don't we change this a little bit and bring it back to the script. You always discover things while shooting.
Nicolas Winding Refn
[Liv Corfixen] very much part of my life in that she's everything in my life and we found a way to use each other much more on a creative level as well. She was kind of the idea for this movie so I wanted to acknowledge that. She gave me the original idea to make the film.
