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 RefnI consider it a great honour that my movie Drive inspired so many wonderful artists to come together and create one ultra-cool glam experience.

Nicolas Winding RefnMy initial idea was I wanted to make it a horror film, very much. At times I do enter that world.
Nicolas Winding RefnActually, there was one sequence but Liv didn't put this in but at the end of the movie, we ran out of money. Literally, ran out. And I couldn't make payroll. So I emptied all our accounts to make payroll. We were kinda like, "What do we do?" Then out of the blue, we were saved by Gucci. So it's always been like, you just gotta reach for the stars and hopefully the moon will catch you.
