More quotes by Nicolas Winding Refn
The idea of narcissism, essentially, is and will be accepted as a virtue.
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
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
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
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
The digital revolution is forever. They put importance on that option as well. With Amazon, you're getting the best of both worlds, with a whole new playing field.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Narcissism as a virtue is very futuristic. Narcissism as a quality is where I think things are heading.
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
I think that Danish people may be thought off as the happiest people, but honestly...I love America.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Love comes from the strangest places.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I think that I am a pornographer, meaning that I make movies based on what excites me and what I would like to see.
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
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 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
I think that experiencing through art is a wonderful way to expand the horizon and everything around it.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Sometimes you can play against type, or you can just repeat what they've already done. It can be an obstacle it's a very fine line.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I can't make a film that I don't feel comfortable with.
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 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 think everybody's looking for religion to believe in. I think we all need faith.
Nicolas Winding Refn
