More quotes by 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
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
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.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I think that television has become really, really interesting, in terms of character development. You can have 13 hours to develop a character, as opposed to 25 minutes in a movie. That excites me.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I think that Danish people may be thought off as the happiest people, but honestly...I love America.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I think when you make a movie, one of your main focuses as a director is to inspire everyone else to give their best. Like manipulation.
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 grew up in the '80s and John Hughes was the filmmaker making serious movies for teenagers.
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
The conversations about a film are an example of success because then you know whatever you've done has resonated.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I like doing the promotional work. It's part of the film's process. Cannes was very wonderful to premiere.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I've been trying to get away from physical violence it's too easy it doesn't satisfy me artistically to work with it. Dramatic violence is much more interesting, but it's much more difficult.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Narcissism as a virtue is very futuristic. Narcissism as a quality is where I think things are heading.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Nowadays, teenagers are so fast and quick to see through any form of manipulation. Sitting down and just thinking of something is like watching really bad pornography.
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
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
The future is not about what you do, it's about what you stand for.
Nicolas Winding Refn
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.
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
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
