"I didn’t at all find on the screen the emotion of the script, which is the most magnificent one that I’ve ever read. A clearer and more conventional narrative would have helped the film without, in my opinion, lessening its beauty and its impact. Frankly, I’m still trying to figure out what I’m doing there and what I was supposed to add in that context! What’s more, Terry himself never managed to explain it to me clearly."

"On Social Network, I didn’t really agree with the critics’ praise.

The movie is true to a time and a kind of person, but I was never trying to turn a mirror on a generation."
David Fincher in a great article by W Magazine.

"If you look at that progression, you would have to say that audiences didn’t reward anyone for creating anything new. In fact, if you can make even more money than you could possibly imagine by doing a sequel to a film that was in itself a reboot of an old film series after it was a TV show, how would that experience possibly persuade any studio chief that people want something new and different?"
