More quotes by 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 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
My initial idea was I wanted to make it a horror film, very much. At times I do enter that world.
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
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 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 that Danish people may be thought off as the happiest people, but honestly...I love America.

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
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
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
If an actor or actress is recognizable, that changes our perception of them.
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
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 conversations about a film are an example of success because then you know whatever you've done has resonated.
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 grew up in the '80s and John Hughes was the filmmaker making serious movies for teenagers.
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
I woke up one day and I realized I wasn't born beautiful, but my wife was, so I decided to make a horror film about it: what it would be like to be born beautiful.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I don't drive because I failed eight times and never got my license.
Nicolas Winding Refn
The idea of narcissism, essentially, is and will be accepted as a virtue.
