"My theory before I worked with David, and it was really reinforced by working with him, was that the first seven takes are kind of to relax," Affleck also told the Sunday Times, acknowledging that Fincher would sometimes put his actors through more than three dozen takes to get a scene just so. "Because there's a self-consciousness we can't get rid of, that somebody clacks the slate and says ‘Action!', and now, all of a sudden, you're supposed to be acting... It just lets the actor breathe."

Affleck also admitted that he's pretty much never satisfied with his own work when he's behind the camera, either. 

"It's very trying for my wife," Affleck said, praising yet again the patience of his excellent sport of a partner, Jennifer Garner. "She's incredibly supportive and kind and patient with this, but I'll get into this thing of like, ‘Oh my God, it's a f--king disaster. This doesn't work, that doesn't work, I don't know what the f--k I'm gonna do.'

"And she'll just say, ‘You said this on the last movie. You said it on the movie before. This is the point at which you go in there and listen to one song over and over again, and rewrite the scenes you don't like.' Then it's almost embarrassing, because she's so on the money."
