More quotes by 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 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 like doing the promotional work. It's part of the film's process. Cannes was very wonderful to premiere.

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
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.

I always say I have a Danish passport, but I am a New Yorker at heart.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I was in Hollywood. It's the mythology heart. It's where all the European films came in the '30s and '40s. The marriage between Europe and Hollywood has always been the best when it works.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Sometimes I just play the theme from Arthur. It reminds me of my childhood in New York and I just love it.
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
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
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
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
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
The act of creation can be an extreme violent experience.
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
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
