More quotes by Nicolas Winding Refn
I certainly believe that creativity must be an experience. If I'm to steal time away from people, we should give them something to react to.
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 just close my eyes and I fantasize what I would like to see.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I don't drive because I failed eight times and never got my license.
Nicolas Winding Refn
How can creativity be bad? You can have, I liked it or I didn't like it, but, in the end, it's an individual experience. How can you even begin to define that? I find that sometimes extremely arrogant and counter-productive.
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
Financing films that are demanding is a task, in itself. Because people are so afraid of taking any kind of chance, because they're afraid the audience isn't going to respond. But the audience is so hungry for anything that's a bit original, personal, or different.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I love watching the superhero movies and I would love to make one.
Nicolas Winding Refn
The first person I ever described the film [The Neon Demon] to was Christina Hendricks [who has a cameo in the movie]. We were having dinner in LA and she asked me what I wanted to do next and I said, I want to do a horror movie. And she goes, What's it going to be about? And I said, A lot of blood and high heels.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Understanding one's own power is more interesting than someone being given something powerful.
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
You must understand that violence in a movie is only a tool. If it's used badly, it will be horrible. If it's used correctly, it can be very interesting. But, essentially, it's just a tool.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Sometimes you can play against type, or you can just repeat what they've already done. It can be an obstacle it's a very fine line.
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.
Nicolas Winding Refn
The future is not about what you do, it's about what you stand for.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Abbey Lee was a very famous model and had great success. She was very open about the negative aspects of that industry.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Good and bad, what's good and bad? I don't know.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I just think it was time [in THe Neon Demon]to do a film about women. But not just women, I wanted to do a movie about a teenage girl. It was a great counter to the masculinity of Drive.
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 think that Danish people may be thought off as the happiest people, but honestly...I love America.
