There can't be art without risk. It's like saying No Sex, and then expecting there to be children.

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. I didn't make that money necessarily from the film business, but I eventually made a lot of money and that's what I do. Of course, I consider myself unbelievably fortunate, and I'm pretty content with my life.

Francis Ford Coppola
Image
I still think Ned Beatty should've played Don Corleone.
Francis Ford Coppola
Image
I thought I wanted to be a playwright because I was interested in stories and telling stories.
Francis Ford Coppola
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I like simplicity I don't need luxury.
Francis Ford Coppola
Image
Usually, the stuff that's your best idea or work is going to be attacked the most.
Francis Ford Coppola
Image
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
Image
I think it's better to be overly ambitious and fail than to be underambitious and succeed in a mundane way. I have been very fortunate. I failed upward in my life!
Francis Ford Coppola
Image
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

It was the man's dream, and his inspiring attempt to make them come true that remain important.
