More quotes by Nicolas Winding Refn

Nicolas Winding Refn
I think the idea was to make a horror film that became a science-fiction film with a lot of melodramatic tropes.
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 always think once you have the lead protagonist, you cast around that character.
Nicolas Winding Refn

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
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.
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
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 future is not about what you do, it's about what you stand for.
Nicolas Winding Refn
The idea of narcissism, essentially, is and will be accepted as a virtue.
Nicolas Winding Refn
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.
