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.
David Fincher
I have great appreciation for people who do anything well. I think that it's very difficult to do what you do well.
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

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.

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
I don't think that digital technology will ever take away the humanity of storytelling, because storytelling is entirely, in and of itself, a wholly human concern.
David Fincher
In film, we sculpt time, we sculpt behavior and we sculpt light.
David Fincher
I'm totally anti-commercialism.
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
The thing is, that great actors are everywhere. They're everywhere. They're doing good parts on television. They're doing television commercials. They're doing local theater. There are so few opportunities.
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
I loved Luke Skywalker and I loved Darth Vader and I loved watching them work it out.
David Fincher
And I love shooting football.
David Fincher
I always say everyone was lucky enough to be in a Cate Blanchett movie.
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
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
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
