Darren Aronofsky’s 5 most popular quotes
- Now that there is so much expertise and brainpower, it’s hard to be on the cutting edge of what’s cool and not do something that’s totally geeky.
- 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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
