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
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
There are some movies I can watch over and over, never get sick of.
David Fincher
A movie is made for an audience and a film is made for both the audience and the film-makers.
David Fincher
You know, I don't think I've ever listened to someone's commentary. Ever.
