More quotes by David Fincher
People go to the movies to see things they haven’t seen before. Call me a radical.
David Fincher
You’ll find that the movie business is paid for by those mega movies. The movie business is paid for by Big Macs. By movies as product. Movie studios use that term “product” all the time. Product? You mean you have a lot of stories? No, we have a lot of product. You have stories.
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
I loved Luke Skywalker and I loved Darth Vader and I loved watching them work it out.
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
You can’t take everything on. That’s why when people ask how does this film fit into my oeuvre. I say 'I don’t know. I don’t think in those terms’. If I did, I might become incapacitated by fear . . . How do you eat a whale? One bite at a time. How do you shoot a 150-day movie? You shoot it one day at a time.
David Fincher
Oh, yeah, I love DVD's. I don't have what you'd call an extensive collection, maybe a couple of hundred or so. But I have something on almost all the time.
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
When you go and you tell a studio and that it's an ensemble, that doesn't mean a lot to them. But, my hats off to Paramount and Warner Brothers, because when we told them that these were the kinds of people that we want to get, across the board, they were unbelieveably enthusiastic about it.
David Fincher
I'm totally anti-commercialism.
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
In film, we sculpt time, we sculpt behavior and we sculpt light.
David Fincher
I always say everyone was lucky enough to be in a Cate Blanchett movie.
David Fincher
I learn the most from making my own mistakes.
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
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
I was always interested in films that scar.
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
It's a very American thing to hide away from death.
David Fincher
People always ask why I don't make independent movies. I do make independent movies - I just make them at Sony and Paramount.
