David Fincher quotes about
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.
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.
I'm totally anti-commercialism.
In film, we sculpt time, we sculpt behavior and we sculpt light.
Perfume is pretty good because nobody has to hold the product by their face or use it.
Hollywood is great. I also think it's stupid and small-minded and shortsighted.
If I could be anyone, it would be Brad Pitt.
I learn the most from making my own mistakes.
I loved Luke Skywalker and I loved Darth Vader and I loved watching them work it out.
I was a disinterested student.
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.
I don't know how to depict intelligence.
I like the idea of R-rated franchises.
For a number of years, I'd been around the kind of people who financed movies and the kind of people who are there to make the deals for movies. But I'd always had this naive idea that everybody wants to make movies as good as they can be, which is stupid.
