More quotes by 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
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
You're in a profession in which absolutely everybody is telling you their opinion, which is different. That's one of the reasons George Lucas never directed again.
Francis Ford Coppola
Work on nothing less than epic scale
Francis Ford Coppola
The essence of cinema is editing. It's the combination of what can be extraordinary images of people during emotional moments, or images in a general sense, put together in a kind of alchemy.
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
We had access to too much equipment, too much money, and little by little we went insane.
Francis Ford Coppola
Most filmmakers can't afford to try something out that doesn't work.
Francis Ford Coppola
I gladly, I voluntarily gave up the kind of commercial film career I had going as soon as I had enough money to finance my own films.
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 probably have genius. But no talent.
Francis Ford Coppola
I was raised as a Catholic, but I didn't like the Catholic Church at all. I thought the nuns were mean.
Francis Ford Coppola
When I was 13, I worked for Western Union. When the telegrams came in, I would glue them on the paper and deliver them on my bicycle.
Francis Ford Coppola
The great hope is that people who wouldn't normally make films will be making them. Suddenly, one day some little fat girl in Ohio is going to be the new Mozart and make a beautiful film with her father's camera and for once the so called professionalism about movies will be destroyed forever - and it will really become an art form.
Francis Ford Coppola
The essence of cinema is editing.
Francis Ford Coppola
I'm very proud of my flops, as much as of my successes.
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
I like simplicity I don't need luxury.
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
