More quotes by 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
Collaboration is like the sex of creativity.
Francis Ford Coppola
The internet in hotels should be free - and I really resent it when they charge you five dollars for a bottle of water beside your bed.

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
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

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
When I was about 9, I had polio, and people were very frightened for their children, so you tended to be isolated. I was paralyzed for a while, so I watched television.
Francis Ford Coppola
I probably have genius. But no talent.
Francis Ford Coppola
Time is the lens through which dreams are captured.
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 don't think there's any artist of any value who doesn't doubt what they're doing.
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
I just admire people like Woody Allen, who every year writes an original screenplay. It's astonishing. I always wished that I could do that.
Francis Ford Coppola
It was the man's dream, and his inspiring attempt to make them come true that remain important.
Francis Ford Coppola
A director is the ringmaster of a circus that's inventing itself.
Francis Ford Coppola
