More quotes by Sofia Coppola
I like telling the story in a visual way. I don't like explaining a lot in dialogue.
Sofia Coppola
I just remember seventh grade as being really difficult, because there's nothing meaner than a girl at that age. You gang up on people, and it's traumatic. It wasn't so bad for me, but there's a woman I know who's still traumatized by junior high. At that age, everything seems like a huge deal, but of course that changes when you get older.
Sofia Coppola
It’s about misunderstandings between people and places, being disconnected and looking for moments of connection. There are so many moments in life when people don’t say what they mean, when they are just missing each other, waiting to run into each other in a hallway.
Sofia Coppola
When I was working on the music for this I didn't want to just use pop songs as the score - most movies do it and I've done it before.
Sofia Coppola
I just try to do what I'm interested in and hope that some people will connect.
Sofia Coppola

Sofia Coppola
My parents were always encouraging of us being creative however we wanted to be. People say, You didn't get pressured into having to be a director? But it's hard to be around my dad and not be curious about filmmaking, because he thinks it's the ultimate medium.
Sofia Coppola
I always try to make the soundtrack a good CD on its own.
Sofia Coppola
I got exposed to so many different cultures and people.
Sofia Coppola
Ever since I was little, I've felt very comfortable on a set. The time is stressful - being creative under time constraints. But there is an excitement and energy that you only have a certain amount of time to get what you want.
Sofia Coppola
Generally I just pick music that I like. That's the part I really enjoy: When I get permission for the songs I want and put them into the scenes. It's always hard when you're doing a low-budget film, so it's great when you can get all the music you want to get.
Sofia Coppola
I love that feeling of when it's touching and it makes you happy but there's a melancholy or bittersweet glaze to it.
Sofia Coppola
Making films is like making stuff together as kids.
Sofia Coppola
You're considered superficial and silly if you are interested in fashion....But I think you can be substantial and still be interested in frivolity.
Sofia Coppola
My father is so in love with making movies, and he'sso charismatic about it, that it's hard to be around him withoutwanting to make movies.
