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.

Narcissism as a virtue is very futuristic. Narcissism as a quality is where I think things are heading.

Abbey Lee was a very famous model and had great success. She was very open about the negative aspects of that industry.

[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.

The act of creation can be an extreme violent experience.

The vibe, it's that excitement. New York, you just can't describe it. You get a similar thing from Paris and London, but it's not New York.

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.

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.

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.

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 never desired to really go to Hollywood and make films, and purely because I want my entire control, which I'm used to having.

If an actor or actress is recognizable, that changes our perception of them.

The future is not about what you do, it's about what you stand for.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
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.

The idea of narcissism, essentially, is and will be accepted as a virtue.

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.
