More quotes by Sofia Coppola
We were always around my dad, so he wasn't absentee at all. I don't think it was normal, but it was exciting. You always had lots of creative people around, and my parents took us everywhere.
Sofia Coppola
It’s always more intriguing to imagine what’s happening, as opposed to seeing everything, because then you can use your imagination. I always wanted to be at a distance.
Sofia Coppola
I like amateur things.
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
My dad told me, 'Your movie's never as good as the dailies and never as bad as the rough cut.
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
A lot of young filmmakers bring their movies to my dad because he always gives lots of good editing ideas and notes. He'd be a good film professor.
Sofia Coppola
I like telling the story in a visual way. I don't like explaining a lot in dialogue.
Sofia Coppola
Everyone in my family is in the film business I knew I wanted to be creative and it was important in my family to be artistic.
Sofia Coppola
I think being mediocre and in the middle would be the worst. It's more interesting to get strong reactions, and to have the mixture of people who get it and the people who don't get it. And to invite a dialogue.
Sofia Coppola
When you direct is the only time you get to have the world exactly how you want it. My movies are very close to what I set out to do. And I'm super-opinionated about what I do and don't like.
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
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
I just try to do what I'm interested in and hope that some people will connect.
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 you're making a film you're thinking about how to tell the story visually.
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
It's about moments in life that are great but don't last. They don't go on, but you always have the memory and they have an effect on you. That's what I was thinking about.
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 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
