More quotes by 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
People go to the movies to see things they haven’t seen before. Call me a radical.
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
And I love shooting football.

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.
David Fincher
I'm totally anti-commercialism.
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
Perfume is pretty good because nobody has to hold the product by their face or use it.
David Fincher
I loved Luke Skywalker and I loved Darth Vader and I loved watching them work it out.
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
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
It's a very American thing to hide away from death.
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
Human beings are amazing at finding ways to waste their own time.
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.
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 don't know how much movies should entertain. To me I'm always interested in movies that scar. The thing I love about JAWS is that I've never gone swimming in the ocean again.
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
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
A movie is made for an audience and a film is made for both the audience and the film-makers.
