Favourite Movies: The Green Mile
↳ “They usually call death row ‘The Last Mile’, but we called ours ‘The Green Mile’, because the floor was the color of faded limes. We had the electric chair then. Old Sparky, we called it. I’ve lived a lot of years, Ellie, but 1935 takes the prize. That was the year I had the worst urinary infection of my life. That was also the year of John Coffey and the two dead girls.”
I’m more cerebral than I want to be. Sometimes I think I need to get crazy. Go to Vegas. Do some drugs. Get some hookers. Gamble it all away. And it never happens. I usually just end up at home on my couch—reading.

Music is the most important tool a director has to work with. Because music enhances emotion and any kind of art form is about expressing and enhancing emotions. And what’s good about music is that it’s so pure. It’s pure emotions. I mean the first movies for many years were just pictures with music. So it’s based on that combination. - Nicolas Winding Refn
