I feel that silence is the greatest word, ever. When you don't talk, people begin to read things into you or you become what they long for. When you don't talk, you almost become the mirror image of the other person.

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 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
The digital revolution is forever. They put importance on that option as well. With Amazon, you're getting the best of both worlds, with a whole new playing field.
Nicolas Winding Refn
The act of creation can be an extreme violent experience.
