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