I feel that so many sci-fi films and films in general have just become really dependent on and addicted to CGI, and that some of the big CGI films of the summer, you see these effects that look like crap.

Darren Aronofsky

The whole visual language of the movie is developed way before we get to set.

I’m not sure where the artistry in film making is. It’s usually that moment when you’re on set and you’re working with the actors.

Teacher Thinking Writing
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.

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

Art Challenges Thinking
I’ve tried to take a chance with every film I’ve done – I’ve never done it the easy way, and I think that’s because that’s what excites me, is making as big a mountain as I can in front of me, and just trying to mount it.

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.

I think that there’s an infinite amount of places where you can stick a camera. There’s an infinite amount of choices of what could be going on. There’s an infinite amount of places for so many things, so you have to figure out how to do your job.
DARREN ARONOFSKY

Choice Jobs Thinking
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.

When I go to movies I generally want to be taken to another world.

I’ve spent a life loving women and studying them as much as I can, or am allowed to.

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.
