More quotes by Francis Ford Coppola
Music is a big factor in helping the illusion of the film come to life. The same way music brings back different periods of our lives.
Francis Ford Coppola
You have to really be courageous about your instincts and your ideas. Otherwise you'll just knuckle under, and things that might have been memorable will be lost.
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
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
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
A number of images put together a certain way become something quite above and beyond what any of them are individually.
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
When that happens - when risk is taken and the filmmakers dive into the subject matter without a parachute - very often what you get it something with those qualities that make it age well with the public.
Francis Ford Coppola
We had access to too much equipment, too much money, and little by little we went insane.
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
If the movie works, nobody notices the mistakes... If the movie doesn't work, the only thing people notice are mistakes.
Francis Ford Coppola
You don't have to specialize - do everything that you love and then, at some time, the future will come together for you in some form.
Francis Ford Coppola
Sequels are not done for the audience or cinema or the filmmakers. It's for the distributor. The film becomes a brand.
Francis Ford Coppola
We were raised in an Italian-American household, although we didn't speak Italian in the house. We were very proud of being Italian, and had Italian music, ate Italian food.
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 was never sloppy with other people's money. Only my own. Because I figure, well, you can be.
Francis Ford Coppola
The only TV I would be interested in exploring would be live television. There's no substitute for a team of artists performing at their peak live when failure is possible. It's a high-wire act. That excites me.
Francis Ford Coppola
When you make a film it is like asking yourself a question. When it is finished, you know the answer. Ultimately with all of cinema, we are just trying to learn about ourselves. I have always used the opportunity to make a film to learn more about myself, which I am still doing.
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 always found the film world unpleasant. It's all about the schedule, and never really flew for me.
Francis Ford Coppola
