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.

More quotes by Nicolas Winding Refn
I think that experiencing through art is a wonderful way to expand the horizon and everything around it.
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
The idea of narcissism, essentially, is and will be accepted as a virtue.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Nowadays, teenagers are so fast and quick to see through any form of manipulation. Sitting down and just thinking of something is like watching really bad pornography.
Nicolas Winding Refn
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.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Beauty is on one level pure surface, and on the other hand, it's the most complex subject that we can touch upon because it says everything about us as people. It's a subject we very quickly begin to argue about. I think that's so interesting.
Nicolas Winding Refn
In a way Drive is probably the greatest superhero movie ever made.
Nicolas Winding Refn
I always say I have a Danish passport, but I am a New Yorker at heart.
Nicolas Winding Refn
When we met, my agenda was Get Elle Fanning. I believe Elle's was Get the role. But we didn't know that.
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
I also believe on a practical level, if you're taking time away from people, besides entertaining them, I think it's important that there's something to react to.
Nicolas Winding Refn
The first person I ever described the film [The Neon Demon] to was Christina Hendricks [who has a cameo in the movie]. We were having dinner in LA and she asked me what I wanted to do next and I said, I want to do a horror movie. And she goes, What's it going to be about? And I said, A lot of blood and high heels.
Nicolas Winding Refn
[The Neon Demon] was more my own fascination with beauty. It's my children's fascination beauty.
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 am not a fan of improvisation, because it bores me. Working off a tight scenario gives you the confidence and ability to - why don't we change this a little bit and bring it back to the script. You always discover things while shooting.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Abbey Lee was a very famous model and had great success. She was very open about the negative aspects of that industry.
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
The future is not about what you do, it's about what you stand for.
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
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
