Nicolas Winding Refn's quotes
- Like all art forms, film is a media as powerful as weapons of mass destruction; the only difference is that war destroys and film inspires.
- [on Ryan Gosling] The thing with Ryan, you can look at him for hours. Very few actors have that. It's a gift.
- Well, art is an act of violence. It is about penetration, about speaking to our subconscious and our moods at different levels.
- The chief enemy of creativity is being safe, with good taste.
- If you look at films of Jean-Pierre Melville or Sergio Leone or Sam Peckinpah or Michael Mann, a lot of it deals with heroes that have difficulties connecting to our world. Clearly Drive (2011) is within that category.
- I'm colorblind, I can't see mid-colors. That's why all my films are very contrasted, if it were anything else I couldn't see it.[2011]
- [on the use of pop music in cinema] Scorpio Rising (1963) by Kenneth Anger. That was the first time that a filmmaker would use pop music of its time to underscore the emotion with the images. Its very interesting that it all leads back to that film.[2015]
- I remember when I finished Bronson (2008), I sent it to the Toronto Film Festival because they had shown my "Pusher" trilogy, and I got a letter back from the festival director saying this is the worst movie he's ever seen. [laughs][2015]
- [after mixed press reactions to The Neon Demon (2016) at Cannes] Art is not about good or bad, guys. Those days are over. [2016]
- No compromise. Do it your way. Singularity - it's the only thing no one can take away from you. It's the only thing that sustains timelessness. [2016]
