More quotes by 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.
Francis Ford Coppola
I still think Ned Beatty should've played Don Corleone.
Francis Ford Coppola
I believe that filmmaking - as, probably, is everything - is a game you should play with all your cards, and all your dice, and whatever else you've got. So, each time I make a movie, I give it everything I have. I think everyone should, and I think everyone should do everything they do that way.
Francis Ford Coppola
Wine is so much more than a beverage. It's a romance, a story, a drama-all of those things that are basically putting on a show.
Francis Ford Coppola
The photographer and the director are where reality and fantasy meet.
Francis Ford Coppola
Time is the lens through which dreams are captured.
Francis Ford Coppola
I just admire people like Woody Allen, who every year writes an original screenplay. It's astonishing. I always wished that I could do that.
Francis Ford Coppola
Without a doubt, I was born to want to make cinema, but the kind of cinema I want to make is not like commercial movies, which I enjoy myself, but I wanted to be the kind of filmmaker who wrote original work, sort of like a novelist would who deals with who we are and our times or our relationships.
Francis Ford Coppola
I never went to a psychologist or psychiatrist in my life. Never. You know, Italians are a little prejudiced against that kind of thing.
Francis Ford Coppola
The internet in hotels should be free - and I really resent it when they charge you five dollars for a bottle of water beside your bed.
Francis Ford Coppola
Today's winemakers still worry about quality.
Francis Ford Coppola
If the movie works, nobody notices the mistakes... If the movie doesn't work, the only thing people notice are mistakes.
Francis Ford Coppola
When I was 13, I worked for Western Union. When the telegrams came in, I would glue them on the paper and deliver them on my bicycle.
Francis Ford Coppola
If you're not allowed to experiment anymore for fear of being considered self-indulgent or pretentious or what have you, then everyone's going to just stick to the rules - there's not going to be any additional ideas.
Francis Ford Coppola
Whom God wishes to destroy, He first makes successful in show business.
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 was never sloppy with other people's money. Only my own. Because I figure, well, you can be.
Francis Ford Coppola
When I was about 9, I had polio, and people were very frightened for their children, so you tended to be isolated. I was paralyzed for a while, so I watched television.
Francis Ford Coppola
I'm no longer dependent on the movie business to make a living. So if I want to make movies as other old guys would play golf, I can.
Francis Ford Coppola
My film isn't about Vietnam. It is Vietnam. It's what it was really like. It was crazy. And the way we made it was very much like the way the Americans were in Vietnam. We were in the jungle, there were too many of us, we had access to too much money, too much equipment and little by little we went insane.
Francis Ford Coppola
