Sequels are not done for the audience or cinema or the filmmakers. It's for the distributor. The film becomes a brand.

More quotes by Francis Ford Coppola
Most filmmakers can't afford to try something out that doesn't work.
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
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 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
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
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
I know that if a film is ready to emerge out of what I write, I'll be able to go off and make it without asking anyone's permission.
Francis Ford Coppola
I like simplicity I don't need luxury.
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
I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.
Francis Ford Coppola
I live near San Francisco in the most beautiful spot on earth and enjoy myself in many ways. Yes, I love to work, which for now is to think and read and write, so it's all a dream come true.
Francis Ford Coppola
If I have to be remembered for something, I want it remembered that I really liked children and was a good camp counselor.
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
The essence of cinema is editing.
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
Time is the lens through which dreams are captured.
Francis Ford Coppola
I have more of a vivid imagination than I have talent. I cook up ideas. It's just a characteristic.
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
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'm very proud of my flops, as much as of my successes.
Francis Ford Coppola
