More quotes by Francis Ford Coppola
Usually, the stuff that's your best idea or work is going to be attacked the most.
Francis Ford Coppola
If you're not allowed to experiment anymore for fear of being considered self-indulgent or pretentious or what have you, then everyone's going to just stick to the rules - there's not going to be any additional ideas.
Francis Ford Coppola
I'm very proud of my flops, as much as of my successes.
Francis Ford Coppola

It's ironic that at age 32, at probably the greatest moment of my career, with The Godfather having such an enormous success, I wasn't even aware of it, because I was somewhere else under the deadline again.
Francis Ford Coppola
Wine is so much more than a beverage. It's a romance, a story, a drama-all of those things that are basically putting on a show.
Francis Ford Coppola
It was the man's dream, and his inspiring attempt to make them come true that remain important.
Francis Ford Coppola

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

Francis Ford Coppola
The photographer and the director are where reality and fantasy meet.
Francis Ford Coppola
I've been failing for, like, ten or eleven years. When it turns, it'll turn. Right now I'm just trying to squeeze through a very tight financial period, get the movie out, and put my things in order.
Francis Ford Coppola
So much of the art of film is to do less. To aspire to do less.
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
Most filmmakers can't afford to try something out that doesn't work.
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
In kindergarten that used to be my job, to tell them fairytales. I liked Hans Christian Andersen, and the Grimm fairy tales, all the classic fairy tales.
Francis Ford Coppola
I wanted to be a film student again, as a man in my 60s. To go someplace alone and see what you can cook up, with non-existent budgets. I didn't want to be surrounded by comforts and colleagues, which you have when when you're a big time director. I wanted to write personal works.
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
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
