I've been trying to get away from physical violence; it's too easy; it doesn't satisfy me artistically to work with it. Dramatic violence is much more interesting, but it's much more difficult.
Nicolas Winding RefnI've stopped showing actors what to actually do. I rather just talk to them about it. Then I usually play music. That's a great way to convey inner emotion, bring the power of style and acting together. That's really what it is, very good acting without talking.
Nicolas Winding RefnPersonally I kept my feelings out of it and created a fantasy. That's the process of going through this world being beautiful.
