Zitat des Tages von David Fincher:
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.
A movie is made for an audience and a film is made for both the audience and the film-makers.
You know, I don't think I've ever listened to someone's commentary. Ever.
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.
I think intelligence is totally subjective; it's like sexiness.
For a romantic comedy to be three hours long, that's longer than most marriages.
I like characters who don't change, who don't learn from their mistakes.
You can make movies for a select audience, but you have to market it to them.
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.
I like the idea of R-rated franchises.
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.
When I'm watching somebody act, it's a behavior editorial function - I look at someone act, and I might say, 'I don't believe him when he says that.' I don't know why I don't believe him, probably because the people that I've met, they don't act like that when they say stuff like that and mean it.
I loved Luke Skywalker and I loved Darth Vader and I loved watching them work it out.
In film, we sculpt time, we sculpt behaviour and we sculpt light.
A lot of people hated 'Alien 3.'
How do you shoot a 150-day movie? You shoot it one day at a time.
Entertainment has to come hand in hand with a little bit of medicine.
I learn the most from making my own mistakes.
