I love fear, and fear breeds creativity. It forces you to react instinctively, which is the essence of movement. Movement is a creativity - a sense of an emotional movement. And the more instinctual you can make that, the more pleasurable it is. It's like an infant drawing. You're completely uninhibited because creativity is a wonderful expression. Good or bad, who cares? That's part of the past. The act of creativity is what's interesting.
Nicolas Winding RefnI 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[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 RefnSometimes I just play the theme from Arthur. It reminds me of my childhood in New York and I just love it.
