Nicolas Winding Refn
When you make something that everyone likes, it's very easy to say, Well, I'll just repeat that. Because that was easy. I have a formula. But creatively, it's not very interesting.

Nicolas Winding Refn
The conversations about a film are an example of success because then you know whatever you've done has resonated.
Nicolas Winding Refn

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.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I don't drive because I failed eight times and never got my license.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I just close my eyes and I fantasize what I would like to see.
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 think that's the struggle of our normality is that we have oppressed desires because of what is accepted and not accepted in society.
Nicolas Winding Refn
If an actor or actress is recognizable, that changes our perception of them.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Only God Forgives was very much a generation gap in a way. It was all the youth of the world that embraced it. I make films for young people. That's what I will continue to do.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I very much enjoy my freedom creatively but I also would love to make one of those big Hollywood films that costs a lot of money and has a lot of people running around with cell phones and all that insanity.
Nicolas Winding Refn
We live in a beauty-obsessed culture, which on one hand is absolutely fabulous, but on the flip side, is also dangerously extreme.
