I am disabused of all faith, and see too clearly.
I consider it a great honour that my movie Drive inspired so many wonderful artists to come together and create one ultra-cool glam experience.

Creativity is narcissism. Creativity is falling in love with one's self as you create. It's self-indulgent.
I love fear, and fear breeds creativity. It forces you to react instinctively, which is the essence of movement. Movement is a creativity - a sense of an emotional movement. And the more instinctual you can make that, the more pleasurable it is. It's like an infant drawing. You're completely uninhibited because creativity is a wonderful expression. Good or bad, who cares? That's part of the past. The act of creativity is what's interesting.
I am a child of cinema, and I am a cineaste, so everything I do is a reference to something I've heard or experienced or seen. And we all do it, we all steal. The ones who claim they don't, are obviously lying, because you do. You just have to make it your own.

We're going off the rails on a crazy train.
