David Fincher

David Fincher
I was always interested in films that scar.
David Fincher
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.
David Fincher
Take ownership of every decision you make because you will be hold responsible for the film, whether good or bad.
