I know some people that have gone through serious struggles. People that were close to me, and I’ve seen some terrible things about people who lose it. So I think that type of pain is something that’s human and that, actually, can help us look at ourselves a little bit. Darren Aronofsky Read Quote
I’d like to do a lot of different stuff. I think it’s important as a creative person to keep challenging yourself and keep doing new stuff. If you end up trying to repeat yourself it’s death. It just becomes boring and takes the passion out of it. You gotta find stories and characters that you really want to hang out with. Darren Aronofsky Read Quote
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. Darren Aronofsky Read Quote
Classical scores go up and down; they’re kind of hysterical in a way. And movie scores are much more – they just drive and move forward, and they build and can’t go up and down at that same speed. It’s a big job to turn that into something that pushes the movie along. Darren Aronofsky Read Quote
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. I’ve spent a life loving women, and studying them as much as I can, or am allowed to. Darren Aronofsky Read Quote
I spent about a year and a half doing technical post work on ‘The Fountain’. Although I do like the process, I think my favorite part of filmmaking is the actors. Darren Aronofsky Read Quote
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. Darren Aronofsky Read Quote
I think it’s my nature to try and make original content, and that’s what I’ve done, is just try and approach things in an original way, and do things differently. Darren Aronofsky Read Quote
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. Darren Aronofsky Read Quote
