I got exposed to so many different cultures and people.

I always try to make the soundtrack a good CD on its own.
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.

Making films is like making stuff together as kids.
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.

It seems that the greatest difficulty is to find the end. Don't try to find it, it's there already.

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.

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.

My dad told me, 'Your movie's never as good as the dailies and never as bad as the rough cut.
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
Image
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
Image
I think I'm always drawn to projects that help me understand something about myself.
Sofia Coppola
Image
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.

I like amateur things.
Sofia Coppola
Image
Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven.

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.

I just try to do what I'm interested in and hope that some people will connect.
