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.

I also believe on a practical level, if you're taking time away from people, besides entertaining them, I think it's important that there's something to react to.

But once you get down to reality, there's no one to play her and there's no movie. It would be ridiculous.
Nicolas Winding Refn

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.

Beauty is on one level pure surface, and on the other hand, it's the most complex subject that we can touch upon because it says everything about us as people. It's a subject we very quickly begin to argue about. I think that's so interesting.

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.

I just close my eyes and I fantasize what I would like to see.

I think that I am a pornographer, meaning that I make movies based on what excites me and what I would like to see.

Love comes from the strangest places.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
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.

Image
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.

Understanding one's own power is more interesting than someone being given something powerful.

My initial idea was I wanted to make it a horror film, very much. At times I do enter that world.
