David Fincher quotes about
I like studios. I just don't like bureaucracies.
For a romantic comedy to be three hours long, that's longer than most marriages.
Yet as a director, I don't feel you have to identify with your characters as a requirement to make a movie.
Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything's okay. I don't make those kinds of movies.
When you make the kind of movies I make, you get weird letters from people.
There are some movies I can watch over and over, never get sick of. I'll put one of those on and be puttering around the house. Then a certain scene will come on and I'll just have to go over and watch.
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.
In film, we sculpt time, we sculpt behaviour and we sculpt light.
I always feel ill-prepared for commentaries and it had been so long I was afraid I'd forget everything that happened on the film.
You can make movies for a select audience, but you have to market it to them. You can make movies for a select audience, but you have to market it to them.

Again, a franchise to me doesn't have to be a billion dollar title.
I want people to surprise themselves. Instead of saying "Oh, god, didn't we already do this 17 times?"
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.
