More quotes by David Fincher
I thought that the behavioral and some of the profiling stuff was interesting. The thing that I was most interested in, and the thing that we were really adament about, was let's get these guys who were there on tape, or in some kind of way, telling what happened. No one has really talked to them all.

People will say, 'There are a million ways to shoot a scene,' but I don't think so. I think there are two, maybe. And the other one is wrong.

Awards movies are normally sort of... life-affirming and noble. It's probably too much of an intellectual conceit and, you know, people don't like it when you don't lead the bad guy off in cuffs.

Directing ain't about drawing a neat little picture and showing it to the cameraman. I didn't want to go to film school. I didn't know what the point was. The fact is, you don't know what directing is until the sun is setting and you've got to get five shots and you're only going to get two.

You have the power to pause stuff and you have the power to go to the bathroom. You can do whatever you want in your own home. It's a much more relaxed thing. It's more like a book, it seems to me. That's kind of the way I watch movies.

David Fincher
I learn the most from making my own mistakes.
David Fincher
A movie is made for an audience and a film is made for both the audience and the film-makers.
David Fincher
It's a bad day when you don't get the work done that you need to get done or you don't get it done to the satisfaction.
David Fincher
I have demons you can't even imagine.
David Fincher
I want people to flourish. I want them to walk away from the experience going, That's what it should be like.
David Fincher
And I love shooting football.
David Fincher
It's based not only on what it played like in the theater, but it's also knowing that certain things play differently in a home theater environment. You have different expectations when you're sitting with 700 people than when you're sitting with your friends or family. It's just a different world.
David Fincher
For a number of years, I'd been around the kind of people who financed movies and the kind of people who are there to make the deals for movies. But I'd always had this naive idea that everybody wants to make movies as good as they can be, which is stupid.
David Fincher
My idea of professionalism is probably a lot of people's idea of obsessive.
David Fincher
I learned just to be a belligerent asshole, which was really: You have to get what you need to get out of it. You have to fight for things you believe in, and you have to be smart about how you position it so that you don't just become white noise.
David Fincher
Take ownership of every decision you make because you will be hold responsible for the film, whether good or bad.

Sometimes people freak out when you shoot 40 takes of something. They start looking at you like, What did I do wrong?, and its like No. It's not wrong. It's just that we are going to try something different.
