David Fincher
I was always interested in films that scar.
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 want people to flourish. I want them to walk away from the experience going, That's what it should be like.
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
I loved Luke Skywalker and I loved Darth Vader and I loved watching them work it out.
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
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
I learn the most from making my own mistakes.
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
You know, I don't think I've ever listened to someone's commentary. Ever.
David Fincher
It's a very American thing to hide away from death.
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
Perfume is pretty good because nobody has to hold the product by their face or use it.
David Fincher
How do you shoot a 150-day movie? You shoot it one day at a time.
David Fincher
In film, we sculpt time, we sculpt behavior and we sculpt light.
David Fincher
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.
David Fincher
I always say everyone was lucky enough to be in a Cate Blanchett movie.
