Darren Aronofsky Quotes

• [on how he chooses visual style that suits each story] It’s probably because I’m Godless. And so I’ve had to make my God, and my God is narrative filmmaking, which is — ultimately what my God becomes, which is what my mantra becomes, is the theme.
• [on creating Black Swan (2010)] It was a very hard film to make and I ended up making everyone’s commitment to stay on it longer and longer. Every time we had a push because the money fell apart, or whatever, the hardest conversation I would have was with Natalie [Portman] because I knew it meant carrot sticks and almonds for another 3 months for her and she was not going to be happy.
• I think it’s important to keep trying new things.
• It’s a very hard line, as a filmmaker, to know when is too much. And I’m usually on the wrong side of it.
• You have to be memorable if you want people to be thinking about it thirty seconds after it happens. I don’t think it matters, the reaction, as long as they’re reacting.
• Filmmaking is barely an art. 99% of my job is bureaucracy.
• I walked out of The Matrix (1999) and I was thinking, ‘What kind of science fiction movie can people make now?’ The Wachowski Brothers (directors Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski) took all the great sci-fi ideas of the 20th century and rolled them into a delicious pop culture sandwich that everyone on the planet devoured.
• [on Mickey Rourke] When you meet him, he has all this armour on him, but that’s because inside he’s soft as jelly and he has such a big heart. Technically, he’s an incredible actor and completely in control of his craft.
• [on casting The Wrestler (2008)] No one believed in Mickey Rourke… He has no value as a commodity. Well, I sat with him and looked into his eyes. His eyes aren’t dead. They’re alive, yearning, thinking.
• To me, watching a movie is like going to an amusement park. My worst fear is making a film that people don’t think is a good ride.
• There’s always been a lot of pressure and tension on the line. If Pi (1998) didn’t work out, I have no idea what my career would be. I don’t think I would have gotten another shot at it. If Requiem for a Dream (2000) didn’t work out, they would have called me a “one-hit wonder with a sophomore slump”.
• I try to live my life where I end up at a point where I have no regrets. So I try to choose the road that I have the most passion on because then you can never really blame yourself for making the wrong choices. You can always say you’re following your passion.
