For me, Amazon has stepped in and presented the future of entertainment. Obviously, the future of entertainment is going to be on the internet.

Sometimes I just play the theme from Arthur. It reminds me of my childhood in New York and I just love it.

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.

In the end, we're just showmen. But, I think that it's an important factor. Not to be anything else but clear about that - for me, creativity is an important part of our evolution. Art has probably done more good for the world than war. But they're equally powerful. They both create revolutions.

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.

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.

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

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.

I feel Amazon is really bringing films into the future. So for me it was the best of both worlds.

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
Image
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.

I always say I have a Danish passport, but I am a New Yorker at heart.

Image
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
Image
I just close my eyes and I fantasize what I would like to see.

The artificial world that we create through images will essentially become real.
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.

I think that I am a pornographer, meaning that I make movies based on what excites me and what I would like to see.
