“The problem with cinema nowadays is that it's a math problem. People can read a film mathematically; they know when this comes or that comes; in about 30 minutes, it's going to be over and have an ending. So film has become a mathematical solution. And that is boring, because art is not mathematical.” PeopleKnowsArtProblemFilmMinutesSolutionsArt IsBoringMathMathematicalCinemaMath Problems Author:Nicolas Winding Refn
“In a way, art is a great way to release your love, fantasy, and desires. It's like a fetish. It's a comfortable way of excising a lot of your conscience.” WayArtDesireFantasyComfortableArt IsConscienceReleaseFetish Author:Nicolas Winding Refn
“We have basic urges all the time. They just manifest themselves in different scenarios, and we have to turn those weaknesses into our strengths. Art is very much about making your weaknesses your strength.” ArtDifferentTurnsArt IsWeaknessUrgesManifestScenarios Author:Nicolas Winding Refn
“I think that experiencing through art is a wonderful way to expand the horizon and everything around it.” ThinkingWayArtWonderfulArt IsHorizon Author:Nicolas Winding Refn
“The power of art is as powerful as weapons of mass destruction; it's just where war destroys, art inspires. But in order to inspire, you need to react to it. And, if it doesn't penetrate your mind, you can't react to it.” IfsNeedsMindArtWarOrderPowerfulInspireWeaponsMassArt IsDestructionPenetrateWeapons Of Mass DestructionMass Destruction Author:Nicolas Winding Refn
“We live in a world where art is always looked upon as the perfect medium. We live in a society where we can alter our body parts, we can act in the most perfect or right way. A lot of that is dangerous because, especially in the world of art, the chief enemy of creativity is being safe. If you're safe, you can't fall and hurt yourself. The older you are, the further down the crash is going to be. But if it works out, the higher the high.” WorldArtFallHurtPerfectEnemyCreativityDangerousArt IsWork OutCrash Author:Nicolas Winding Refn
