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.

More quotes by Francis Ford Coppola
I've been blessed with enough wealth that I can make a film myself up to a certain budget. So one way I thought I would reinvent myself was just to make these very small, personal films that I've financed myself.
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
I was excited to discover, in this tale by Eliade, the key themes that I most hope to understand better - time, consciousness and the dream-like basis of reality.
Francis Ford Coppola
Music is a big factor in helping the illusion of the film come to life. The same way music brings back different periods of our lives.
Francis Ford Coppola
Sequels are not done for the audience or cinema or the filmmakers. It's for the distributor. The film becomes a brand.
Francis Ford Coppola
Collaboration is like the sex of creativity.
Francis Ford Coppola
I have much to learn from my daughter Sofia. Her minimalism exposes my limitations: I'm too instinctive and operatic, I put too much heart into my work, I get lost sometimes in bizarre things - it's my Italian heritage.
Francis Ford Coppola
I wrote the script of Patton. I had this very bizarre opening where he stands up in front of an American flag and gives this speech. Ultimately, I was fired. When the script was done, they hired another writer and that script was forgotten.
Francis Ford Coppola
Ten Days That Shook The World, by Eisenstein, I went to see it, and I was so impressed with this film, so impressed with what cinema could do.
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
I like simplicity I don't need luxury.
Francis Ford Coppola
It was the man's dream, and his inspiring attempt to make them come true that remain important.
Francis Ford Coppola
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
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
When that happens - when risk is taken and the filmmakers dive into the subject matter without a parachute - very often what you get it something with those qualities that make it age well with the public.
Francis Ford Coppola
I'm no longer dependent on the movie business to make a living. So if I want to make movies as other old guys would play golf, I can.
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
Usually, the stuff that's your best idea or work is going to be attacked the most.
Francis Ford Coppola
I know that if a film is ready to emerge out of what I write, I'll be able to go off and make it without asking anyone's permission.
Francis Ford Coppola
