More quotes by 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 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
I got exposed to so many different cultures and people.
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
I like telling the story in a visual way. I don't like explaining a lot in 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
I never studied directing and I never really thought about doing it, and then I just found myself in that situation and tried it. I like to be observing everything else, and I get self-conscious in front of the camera.
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
Making films is like making stuff together as kids.
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
When you're making a film you're thinking about how to tell the story visually.
Sofia Coppola
I always try to make the soundtrack a good CD on its own.
Sofia Coppola
I just try to do what I'm interested in and hope that some people will connect.
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
I like amateur things.
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.
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
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
Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven.
Sofia Coppola
