More quotes by David Fincher
I was always interested in films that scar.
David Fincher
We live in a silly time, and people go to the movies to see something that they haven't seen before, and you have to promise to show them that. In a horrible way, you have to promise them a special effect.
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
If you read the good reviews you gotta read the bad reviews. I kind of think of it as like being a quarterback: you get way too much blame when it's bad and way too much credit when it's good.
David Fincher
Take ownership of every decision you make because you will be hold responsible for the film, whether good or bad.
David Fincher
In film, we sculpt time, we sculpt behavior and we sculpt light.
David Fincher
You know, I don't think I've ever listened to someone's commentary. Ever.
David Fincher
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.
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
People go to the movies to see things they haven’t seen before. Call me a radical.
David Fincher
How do you shoot a 150-day movie? You shoot it one day at a time.
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've never been to Harvard, I've never been to college, so I don't know what dorm life is like.
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
I loved Luke Skywalker and I loved Darth Vader and I loved watching them work it out.
David Fincher
You can do something that walks a line, and invariably, whatever that line is, it will be crossed by people who don't know any better and want to ape the success.
David Fincher
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 want people to flourish. I want them to walk away from the experience going, That's what it should be like.
David Fincher
I don't know how much movies should entertain. To me I'm always interested in movies that scar. The thing I love about JAWS is that I've never gone swimming in the ocean again.
David Fincher
Look, it's nice. I like the fact that critics liked this movie, but most of the movies that I've made, you'll find a handful of people that love it and more than a few other handfuls of people hate it. If I was invested in that, I would've given up long ago.
