More quotes by Nicolas Winding Refn
You must understand that violence in a movie is only a tool. If it's used badly, it will be horrible. If it's used correctly, it can be very interesting. But, essentially, it's just a tool.
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
[Liv Corfixen] very much part of my life in that she's everything in my life and we found a way to use each other much more on a creative level as well. She was kind of the idea for this movie so I wanted to acknowledge that. She gave me the original idea to make the film.
Nicolas Winding Refn
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
There will always be a theatrical experience because there will always be cinemas no matter what. It's like there will always be theaters to have stage plays in.
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 don't do drugs, and so music very much gets me going. When I do something, I think, If it was a piece of music, what would it be?
Nicolas Winding Refn
Love comes from the strangest places.
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
We live in a beauty-obsessed culture, which on one hand is absolutely fabulous, but on the flip side, is also dangerously extreme.
Nicolas Winding Refn
That's half of what we do our daily lives - we react to our surroundings. Of course, we have to make it entertaining, and we are entertainers.
Nicolas Winding Refn
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
My initial idea was I wanted to make it a horror film, very much. At times I do enter that world.
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.
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
The first person I ever described the film [The Neon Demon] to was Christina Hendricks [who has a cameo in the movie]. We were having dinner in LA and she asked me what I wanted to do next and I said, I want to do a horror movie. And she goes, What's it going to be about? And I said, A lot of blood and high heels.
Nicolas Winding Refn
How can creativity be bad? You can have, I liked it or I didn't like it, but, in the end, it's an individual experience. How can you even begin to define that? I find that sometimes extremely arrogant and counter-productive.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I grew up in the '80s and John Hughes was the filmmaker making serious movies for teenagers.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I think that experiencing through art is a wonderful way to expand the horizon and everything around it.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I just close my eyes and I fantasize what I would like to see.
