[Liv Corfixen] very much part of my life in that she's everything in my life and we found a way to use each other much more on a creative level as well. She was kind of the idea for this movie so I wanted to acknowledge that. She gave me the original idea to make the film.

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 have not seen Batman v Superman, unfortunately. It hasn't been on the plane, as I've been flying a lot.
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
I always say I have a Danish passport, but I am a New Yorker at heart.

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.
