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.

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
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
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
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
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 always say everyone was lucky enough to be in a Cate Blanchett movie.
David Fincher
Take ownership of every decision you make because you will be hold responsible for the film, whether good or bad.
David Fincher
In film, we sculpt time, we sculpt behavior and we sculpt light.
David Fincher
And I love shooting football.
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
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
Sometimes people freak out when you shoot 40 takes of something. They start looking at you like, What did I do wrong?, and its like No. It's not wrong. It's just that we are going to try something different.
David Fincher
Human beings are amazing at finding ways to waste their own time.
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
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
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
My idea of professionalism is probably a lot of people's idea of obsessive.
David Fincher
There are some movies I can watch over and over, never get sick of.
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
People always ask why I don't make independent movies. I do make independent movies - I just make them at Sony and Paramount.
