More quotes by 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
Anyone who's made film and knows about the cinema has a lifelong love affair with the experience. You never stop learning about film.
Francis Ford Coppola
So much of the art of film is to do less. To aspire to do less.
Francis Ford Coppola
I wanted to write and direct movies and not be forced to adapt them from a bestselling book.
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.

I wanted to be a film student again, as a man in my 60s. To go someplace alone and see what you can cook up, with non-existent budgets. I didn't want to be surrounded by comforts and colleagues, which you have when when you're a big time director. I wanted to write personal works.
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
I still think Ned Beatty should've played Don Corleone.
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
I thought I wanted to be a playwright because I was interested in stories and telling stories.
Francis Ford Coppola
Collaboration is like the sex of creativity.
Francis Ford Coppola
When I was sixteen or seventeen, I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to be a playwright. But everything I wrote, I thought, was weak. And I can remember falling asleep in tears because I had no talent the way I wanted to have.
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
My family were symphonic musicians and in the opera. Also, it was my era, the love of radio. We used to listen to the radio at night, close our eyes and see movies far more beautiful than you can photograph.
Francis Ford Coppola
A number of images put together a certain way become something quite above and beyond what any of them are individually.
Francis Ford Coppola
I was excited to discover, in this tale by Eliade, the key themes that I most hope to understand better - time, consciousness and the dream-like basis of reality.
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
We had access to too much equipment, too much money, and little by little we went insane.
Francis Ford Coppola
It's ironic that at age 32, at probably the greatest moment of my career, with The Godfather having such an enormous success, I wasn't even aware of it, because I was somewhere else under the deadline again.
Francis Ford Coppola
