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.

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
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
There are some movies I can watch over and over, never get sick of.
David Fincher
Take ownership of every decision you make because you will be hold responsible for the film, whether good or bad.
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 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
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
People go to the movies to see things they haven’t seen before. Call me a radical.
