Personally I kept my feelings out of it and created a fantasy. That's the process of going through this world being beautiful.
Nicolas Winding RefnI grew up in the '80s and John Hughes was the filmmaker making serious movies for teenagers.
Nicolas Winding RefnFilmmaking is like any kind of art form. You have to try to figure it out, and you're going to do that by trying. It's like teaching a child to walk. It may start by walking, but eventually it will fall. And I have kids, but I know that that will enable them to stand up again and understand why they fell, and how they can avoid that. They will walk better and faster, and stronger. Filmmaking is the same.
