Girls are supposed to be feminine and demure. Comedy isn’t about that, so you just have to unlearn it. Certain women are so pretty, they can’t go weird enough to be funny. You have to be willing to be ugly. I’m lucky my face can look so hideous.

[talking about his experiences early on in his career] It wasn’t about control. It was about the co-lla-bo. There’s great directors who treat actors like cattle, but I hated it, and I knew if I ever had a choice, I didn’t want to work with those guys. Who said that thing about actors and cattle? Hitchcock [Alfred Hitchcock]? Yeah, I don’t want to work with that dude.”

Happy Birthday: David Fincher

Born: August 28, 1962 in Denver, Colorado, USA

[on getting at least 60% of what you want on a film set] . . . I think that’s probably on a good day. I would say probably, on a given film, Fight Club (1999) is probably closest to what we wanted to do. It’s about 75% of what we wanted. I think Panic Room (2002), even though it was storyboarded within an inch of its life, was probably 60%. The Social Network (2010), I wasn’t transposing what I had in my head on it, because I was really following the text, and following these kids, so that movie was, y’know, about 70-75% of what I thought it was going to be. This movie is probably about that. I think you’re doing pretty good if you can get 70% of what you want.

[on filming The Lone Ranger (2013)] I learned to ride a horse through a moving train while firing two pistols, simultaneously. I’m not sure if that’s a very applicable skill that I’ll be able to use in Los Angeles traffic, but it was fun to get to do it in the movie.
