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.

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.

Image
The artificial world that we create through images will essentially become real.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
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
Image
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
Image
My initial idea was I wanted to make it a horror film, very much. At times I do enter that world.

Narcissism as a virtue is very futuristic. Narcissism as a quality is where I think things are heading.

I have not seen Batman v Superman, unfortunately. It hasn't been on the plane, as I've been flying a lot.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
The future is not about what you do, it's about what you stand for.

Sometimes I just play the theme from Arthur. It reminds me of my childhood in New York and I just love it.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
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.

The act of creation can be an extreme violent experience.

[The Neon Demon] was more my own fascination with beauty. It's my children's fascination beauty.
