More quotes by Sofia Coppola
I always try to make the soundtrack a good CD on its own.
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
Making films is like making stuff together as kids.
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
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 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
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
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 think I'm always drawn to projects that help me understand something about myself.
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
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 seems that the greatest difficulty is to find the end. Don't try to find it, it's there already.
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
When you're making a film you're thinking about how to tell the story visually.
Sofia Coppola
I like telling the story in a visual way. I don't like explaining a lot in dialogue.
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
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
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 just try to do what I'm interested in and hope that some people will connect.
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
