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
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.

There are some movies I can watch over and over, never get sick of.
David Fincher
When you go and you tell a studio and that it's an ensemble, that doesn't mean a lot to them. But, my hats off to Paramount and Warner Brothers, because when we told them that these were the kinds of people that we want to get, across the board, they were unbelieveably enthusiastic about it.
David Fincher
I always say everyone was lucky enough to be in a Cate Blanchett movie.
David Fincher
I think title sequences are an opportunity to sort of set the stage or to get people thinking in different terms than maybe whatever they understand the movie to be going in.

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
We live in a silly time, and people go to the movies to see something that they haven't seen before, and you have to promise to show them that. In a horrible way, you have to promise them a special effect.
David Fincher
Perfume is pretty good because nobody has to hold the product by their face or use it.
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
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
I learn the most from making my own mistakes.
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
I have great appreciation for people who do anything well. I think that it's very difficult to do what you do well.
David Fincher
And I love shooting football.
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
People go to the movies to see things they haven’t seen before. Call me a radical.
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
I'm totally anti-commercialism.
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.
