I love this excerpt from Brad Pitt’s tribute speech to David Fincher during the Cesar Awards ceremony, which happened on Friday, 2.24.
Pitt: “Here are some things you might hear on a David Fincher set. (a) “Let’s shoot this, please, before we all lose interest in living.” (b) “Okay, we have the out-of-focus version — let’s try one that’s in focus.” (c) “If you pan to the right and see that in your frame again, you have my permission to take your own life.” And (d) “I want you guys to enjoy yourselves, but that’s what Saturdays and Sundays are for.”
