More quotes by Francis Ford Coppola
When I do a novel, I don't really use the script, I use the book when I did Apocalypse Now, I used Heart of Darkness. Novels usually have so much rich material.
Francis Ford Coppola
Anything you build on a large scale or with intense passion invites chaos.
Francis Ford Coppola
I have much to learn from my daughter Sofia. Her minimalism exposes my limitations: I'm too instinctive and operatic, I put too much heart into my work, I get lost sometimes in bizarre things - it's my Italian heritage.
Francis Ford Coppola
Work on nothing less than epic scale
Francis Ford Coppola
The professional world was much more unpleasant than I thought. I was always wishing I could get back that enthusiasm I had when I was doing shows at college.
Francis Ford Coppola
I became quite successful very young, and it was mainly because I was so enthusiastic and I just worked so hard at it.
Francis Ford Coppola
The things you get fired for when you’re young are the same things that you get lifetime achievement awards for when you’re old.
Francis Ford Coppola
It is a little disappointing to see that your legs are not as strong. But I like the idea of growing old, and the thought of approaching death is not particularly daunting to me.
Francis Ford Coppola
There can't be art without risk. It's like saying No Sex, and then expecting there to be children.
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
Collaboration is like the sex of creativity.
Francis Ford Coppola
Time is the lens through which dreams are captured.
Francis Ford Coppola
It was the man's dream, and his inspiring attempt to make them come true that remain important.
Francis Ford Coppola
Most filmmakers can't afford to try something out that doesn't work.
Francis Ford Coppola
To make great movies, there is an element of risk. You have to say, 'Well, I am going to make this film, and it is not really a sure thing.'
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
A number of images put together a certain way become something quite above and beyond what any of them are individually.
Francis Ford Coppola
People feel the worst film I made was 'Jack.' But to this day, when I get checks from old movies I've made, 'Jack' is one of the biggest ones. No one knows that. If people hate the movie, they hate the movie. I just wanted to work with Robin Williams.
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
I realized I probably wouldn't make another film that cuts through commercial and creative things like 'Godfather' or 'Apocalypse.'
Francis Ford Coppola
