Nicolas Winding Refn
Love comes from the strangest places.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Doing your first film, it's very important that it's a commercial success, because that gives you a couple times to experiment until you have to hit the jackpot again.
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
I just close my eyes and I fantasize what I would like to see.
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
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 always say I have a Danish passport, but I am a New Yorker at heart.
Nicolas Winding Refn
You ask actors what they would like to do, and you constantly keep them engaged. You want their engagement, input, and sensibilities. It's that intimate collaboration that is actually directing. I don't like the mechanicalness or coldness I like the intimacy. It's like we are creating a child together.
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
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
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 feel Amazon is really bringing films into the future. So for me it was the best of both worlds.
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
Narcissism as a virtue is very futuristic. Narcissism as a quality is where I think things are heading.
