Darren Aronofsky Quotes

I was a TV junkie as a kid. I am the Sesame Street generation Picture Quote #1

It would be nice to make a movie that other people want to make, because every one of these movies, I basically have to find the only company in the world that’s willing to make it, and it’s always a big challenge. I end up spending a tremendous amount of energy and time trying to get money to make these movies and it’s exhausting Picture Quote #1

I only want to work with actors that really get it and make it work. I didn’t want it to be a star-driven thing anymore Picture Quote #1

I think video games and that stuff should be as violent as possible, but age-appropriate. It should be realistic. When it’s not realistic you run into kids running around shooting people and not realizing the consequences Picture Quote #1

These wrestlers aren’t organized. They have no union, no pension and no insurance. You meet wrestler after wrestler who sold out Madison Square Garden ten years ago, basically running on fumes today. There’s a lot of drama there Picture Quote #1

I don’t make films that are easy to market, unfortunately. I think that ‘Pi’ was the easiest one, because we had that symbol to stick up everywhere, so that was a good gimmick, and created a good mystery, and we didn’t have to do huge scale Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t a big fan of social anthropology. And, luckily, that created room for me to work in visual arts because I sort of ignored my requirements. I think I was attracted to social anthropology because I liked to travel and was always interested in far-off places Picture Quote #1

For too long we have been taking, and the Earth has been giving. But that free-for-all, that all-you-can-eat buffet, it’s over. The salad bar is closed Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think people are people and, if their feelings are truthful, they can connect. It doesn’t matter if you’re an aging, 50-something wrestler at the end of his career, or an ambitious, 20-something ballet dancer Picture Quote #1

Turning 30 was when my parents both got cancer and were fighting it and beat it, but their mortality started to get to me. Everything wasn’t as hunky-dory like it was Picture Quote #1

If you ask any person on this crew what they think of Hugh Jackman they’ll admit they’ve never seen anything like it. I’ll give him an emotional note and he’ll hit it every time Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a family with two very strong women, my mother and my older sister, and they were big influences on my life Picture Quote #1

I had some big ups and downs when I was in my 20s and the one thing I learned was, no matter how low it gets, something good will come along - something always comes out of that dark period Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You hear stories about directors using manipulation to get actors to do certain things, but I think when you’re working with professional actors, it’s all about trust. They can do anything you want, it’s just a matter of them understanding what you’re looking for, and the reason why Picture Quote #1

I think it’s important as a filmmaker, as any person working in the arts, that you’ve got to try new stuff and challenge yourself and take chances Picture Quote #1

Comic books and graphic novels are a great medium. It’s incredibly underused Picture Quote #1

Now there is so much expertise and brainpower it’s hard to be at the cutting edge of what’s cool and not do something that’s totally geeky Picture Quote #1

I’ve always wanted to introduce hip-hop filmmaking to film. There’s hip-hop art, dance, music, but there really isn’t hip-hop film. So I was trying to do that Picture Quote #1

It’s not that much of a difference. Basically, your job is the same as a film director. It’s a triangle between creativity, money, and time. But they don’t really change. You’re ultimately trying to get the most creativity and time with the money that you have Picture Quote #1

Casting ethnic characters is a very hard thing to do, but it’s important. It’s also interesting Picture Quote #1

I’m Godless. I’ve had to make my God, and my God is narrative filmmakin Picture Quote #1

I had some big ups and downs when I was in my 20s and the one thing I learned was, no matter how low it gets, something good will come along - something always comes out of that dark period Picture Quote #1

At the end of Requiem all I wanted to do was get a DV camera and just do a small film. But then the hunger comes back Picture Quote #1

Animators have to live life 24 times as long as we do - every 24 frames of a second Picture Quote #1

I hope that Requiem is better than Pi. I hope that Pi is better than my student films, and I’m hoping that I’m getting better as I get older Picture Quote #1

Turning 30 was when my parents both got cancer and were fighting it and beat it, but their mortality started to get to me. Everything wasn’t as hunky-dory like it was Picture Quote #1

When I go to movies I generally want to be taken to another world Picture Quote #1

Comic books and graphic novels are a great medium. It’s incredibly underused Picture Quote #1
