A Quote by Nicolas Winding Refn

Art thrives on obstacles. The bigger the obstacle, the better the drama. — © Nicolas Winding Refn
Art thrives on obstacles. The bigger the obstacle, the better the drama.
What's great about theater and drama is it thrives on dialogue, and dialogue thrives on people with different points of view fighting for what they want.
Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles.
Bigger than any obstacle is the strength that one posses It's a power that overcomes every obstacle
Believe me that in every big thing or achievement there are always obstacles-big or small- and the reaction one shows to such obstacles is what counts, not the obstacle itself.
There are always going to be obstacles. I think the bigger your aspirations, the larger the obstacles.
My concept of drama requires obstacles, and there's no obstacles in comfort.
I don't like to think on obstacles. I guess that if you focus your mind on obstacles, they will grow bigger.
Sometimes things which at the moment may be perceived as obstacles-and actually be obstacles, difficulties, or drawbacks-can in the long run result in some good end which would not have occurred if it had not been for the obstacle.
You can overcome almost any obstacles, unless you are the obstacle.
There are no limits, only obstacles, and any obstacle can be overcome.
No difficulty can discourage, no obstacle dismay, no trouble dishearten the man who has acquired the art of being alive. Difficulties are but dares of fate, obstacles but hurdles to try his skill, troubles but bitter tonics to give him strength; and he rises higher and looms greater after each encounter with adversity.
The bigger your obstacle, the bigger your future. Don't get discouraged, keep moving forward.
I don't really think in terms of obstacles. My biggest obstacle is always myself.
Obstacles cannot bend me. Every obstacle yields to effort.
They say that art comes from the soul. The more drama in an artist's life, the more he can draw on for his art. Van Gogh and Picasso had troubled souls, but poor Steve Kaufman has been shot once, stabbed 3 times - all by women. That is a lot of drama for great art.
I think the problem with the art market and the art scene is that it is its own beast. It thrives and breathes and defecates independently of the artist.
