“I certainly believe that creativity must be an experience. If I'm to steal time away from people, we should give them something to react to.” PeopleIfsGivingShouldBelieveCreativityStealingTime Away Author:Nicolas Winding Refn
“In the end, we're just showmen. But, I think that it's an important factor. Not to be anything else but clear about that - for me, creativity is an important part of our evolution. Art has probably done more good for the world than war. But they're equally powerful. They both create revolutions.” ThinkingWorldArtImportantWarEndsDonePowerfulCreativityClearRevolutionEvolutionFactors Author:Nicolas Winding Refn
“I mean, what do you think creativity is? Nothing but self-indulgence. And the more self-indulgent it is, the more interesting it becomes. So I think that part of creativity is also falling in love with your own narcissism: accepting it, using it as an asset.” ThinkingMeanSelfFallInterestingAcceptingCreativityLove YouFalling In LoveAssetsNarcissismIndulgenceSelf IndulgenceSelf IndulgentFalling In Love With You Author:Nicolas Winding Refn
“How can creativity be bad? You can have, "I liked it" or "I didn't like it," but, in the end, it's an individual experience. How can you even begin to define that? I find that sometimes extremely arrogant and counter-productive.” EndsSometimesIndividualCreativityProductiveArrogant Author:Nicolas Winding Refn
“We live in a society right now which is the last phase of the ecosystem in terms of the old entertainment value, or the old entertainment construction, which is we've gone down to this instant gratification, instant numbers, instant understanding, instant. But it's like the exact - it has perfected itself to the instant click, when, in a way, creativity originates as a much more complex beast. So we now have to reinvent a new canvas where we can indulge in it.

“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.” CarePastInterestingCreativityWonderfulEmotionalInfant 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
