Darren Aronofsky's quotes

  • To me, watching a movie is like going to an amusement park. My worst fear is making a film that people don't think is a good ride.
  • [on casting The Wrestler (2008)] No one believed in Mickey Rourke... He has no value as a commodity. Well, I sat with him and looked into his eyes. His eyes aren't dead. They're alive, yearning, thinking.
  • [on Mickey Rourke] When you meet him, he has all this armour on him, but that's because inside he's soft as jelly and he has such a big heart. Technically, he's an incredible actor and completely in control of his craft.
  • Filmmaking is barely an art. 99% of my job is bureaucracy.
  • You have to be memorable if you want people to be thinking about it thirty seconds after it happens. I don't think it matters, the reaction, as long as they're reacting.
  • It's a very hard line, as a filmmaker, to know when is too much. And I'm usually on the wrong side of it.
  • I think it's important to keep trying new things.
  • [on how he chooses visual style that suits each story] It's probably because I'm Godless. And so I've had to make my God, and my God is narrative filmmaking, which is - ultimately what my God becomes, which is what my mantra becomes, is the theme.
  • All my work comes from somewhere inside. It's passionate. Filming is so tough, people are constantly saying 'no,' you have to wake up every morning. I don't know how to do that unless you believe in the material. [2017]
  • If we want something new at the movies, you give them something new and they say, 'What the hell is that?' The more these films can succeed, the more chances we can get weird ones made. [2017]
  • I told my father "Dad, all I want in my life is for people to either cheer or boo. I just don't want anything in the middle."
  • I can't spoon-feed. I just don't do that. My job, first and foremost, is to entertain and scare the audience.
  • I have a real problem with violence and sexuality being used for no reason. Those are very easy tools to rely on and very dangerous to abuse. I try to be truthful to what violence is. There's nothing glamorous about it.
