Happy Birthday David Fincher!

My first movie [Alien 3], it’s fairly well known, was a disaster. I stupidly felt that the people who were financing it had more to lose than I did if it was bad. I allowed myself to be steered into this communal making and then when the shit hits the fan, all of a sudden, everybody scatters and you’re the guy standing there saying, “wait, who’s got a suggestion now?” So if I’m going to take the blame, if I’m going to take the brunt of it, I’m going to make the decisions.
Favorite Directors in no order:
3. David Fincher.

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.
