In a way, art is a great way to release your love, fantasy, and desires. It's like a fetish. It's a comfortable way of excising a lot of your conscience.

More quotes by Nicolas Winding Refn
The kind of group mentality that we had lived under since the Second World War is starting to erupt, and the craving for individualism is now much stronger. It's not as taboo anymore, as it was when I was younger.
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 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 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
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.

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
The idea of narcissism, essentially, is and will be accepted as a virtue.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I think that I am a pornographer, meaning that I make movies based on what excites me and what I would like to see.
Nicolas Winding Refn
The vibe, it's that excitement. New York, you just can't describe it. You get a similar thing from Paris and London, but it's not New York.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I like doing the promotional work. It's part of the film's process. Cannes was very wonderful to premiere.
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
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
Love comes from the strangest places.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I always say I have a Danish passport, but I am a New Yorker at heart.
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
The future is not about what you do, it's about what you stand for.
