More quotes by 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
I certainly believe that creativity must be an experience. If I'm to steal time away from people, we should give them something to react to.
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
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 think that Danish people may be thought off as the happiest people, but honestly...I love America.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I can't make a film that I don't feel comfortable with.
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
I think everybody's looking for religion to believe in. I think we all need faith.
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
In a way Drive is probably the greatest superhero movie ever made.
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
Good and bad, what's good and bad? I don't know.
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 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
Narcissism as a virtue is very futuristic. Narcissism as a quality is where I think things are heading.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I love films, I love movies, I love television, I love television series, I love the internet, I love anything that enhances images. But most of all, I love, love movies.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Understanding one's own power is more interesting than someone being given something powerful.
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
The future is not about what you do, it's about what you stand for.
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
