David Fincher

I think intelligence is totally subjective; it's like sexiness.

I don't know how to depict intelligence.

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.

Hollywood is great. I also think it's stupid and small-minded and shortsighted.

I like the idea of R-rated franchises.

I like studios. I just don't like bureaucracies.

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.

And I love shooting football.

For a romantic comedy to be three hours long, that's longer than most marriages.

We were working with this lousy print and it just wasn't going to be good enough. I said that we should get the original negative and do it from that. Well, a couple guys pointed out that the negative was locked up over at Deluxe.

Entertainment has to come hand in hand with a little bit of medicine.

I like characters who don't change, who don't learn from their mistakes.
