More quotes by 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
I just think it was time [in THe Neon Demon]to do a film about women. But not just women, I wanted to do a movie about a teenage girl. It was a great counter to the masculinity of Drive.
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
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
I feel Amazon is really bringing films into the future. So for me it was the best of both worlds.
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
For me, Amazon has stepped in and presented the future of entertainment. Obviously, the future of entertainment is going to be on the internet.

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
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
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
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
The act of creation can be an extreme violent experience.
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 Neon Demon] was more my own fascination with beauty. It's my children's fascination beauty.
Nicolas Winding Refn
When we met, my agenda was Get Elle Fanning. I believe Elle's was Get the role. But we didn't know that.
Nicolas Winding Refn
The artificial world that we create through images will essentially become real.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I think everybody's looking for religion to believe in. I think we all need faith.
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 never desired to really go to Hollywood and make films, and purely because I want my entire control, which I'm used to having.
