Work on nothing less than epic scale
Francis Ford Coppola
In a sense, I think a movie is really a little like a question and when you make it, that's when you get the answer.
Francis Ford Coppola
I've been offered lots of movies. There's always some actor who's doing a project and would like to have me do it. But you look at the project and think, 'Gee, there are a lot of good directors who could do that.' I'd like to do something only I can do.
Francis Ford Coppola
Roger Corman exploited all of the young people who worked for him, but he really gave you responsibility and opportunity. So it was kind of a fair deal.
Francis Ford Coppola
I always found the film world unpleasant. It's all about the schedule, and never really flew for me.
Francis Ford Coppola
I've been blessed with enough wealth that I can make a film myself up to a certain budget. So one way I thought I would reinvent myself was just to make these very small, personal films that I've financed myself.
Francis Ford Coppola
