More quotes by Francis Ford Coppola
The great hope is that people who wouldn't normally make films will be making them.

Francis Ford Coppola
The essence of cinema is editing.
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 have more of a vivid imagination than I have talent. I cook up ideas. It's just a characteristic.
Francis Ford Coppola

Francis Ford Coppola
I probably have genius. But no talent.
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
There can't be art without risk. It's like saying No Sex, and then expecting there to be children.
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 wanted to write and direct movies and not be forced to adapt them from a bestselling book.
Francis Ford Coppola
Collaboration is like the sex of creativity.
Francis Ford Coppola
I like simplicity I don't need luxury.
