I always think once you have the lead protagonist, you cast around that character.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
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
Image
I just close my eyes and I fantasize what I would like to see.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
I think when you make a movie, one of your main focuses as a director is to inspire everyone else to give their best. Like manipulation.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
When you make something that everyone likes, it's very easy to say, Well, I'll just repeat that. Because that was easy. I have a formula. But creatively, it's not very interesting.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
How can creativity be bad? You can have, I liked it or I didn't like it, but, in the end, it's an individual experience. How can you even begin to define that? I find that sometimes extremely arrogant and counter-productive.

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.

In a way Drive is probably the greatest superhero movie ever made.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
There will always be a theatrical experience because there will always be cinemas no matter what. It's like there will always be theaters to have stage plays in.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
The artificial world that we create through images will essentially become real.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
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
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.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
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.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
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.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
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.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
Sometimes I just play the theme from Arthur. It reminds me of my childhood in New York and I just love it.

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

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.
