When you make a film it is like asking yourself a question. When it is finished, you know the answer. Ultimately with all of cinema, we are just trying to learn about ourselves. I have always used the opportunity to make a film to learn more about myself, which I am still doing.

Francis Coppola 191 quotes

So much of the art of film is ...

So much of the art of film is to do less. To aspire to do less.

Francis Coppola 191 quotes

I always knew what I thought the theme was, the core, in one word. In 'The Godfather' it was succession. In 'The Conversation' it was privacy. In 'Apocalypse' it was morality.

If the movie works, nobody notices the mistakes... If the movie doesn't work, the only thing people notice are mistakes.

Time is the lens through which dreams are captured.

There can't be art without risk. It's like saying No Sex, and then expecting there to be children.

Whom God wishes to destroy, He first makes successful in show business.

You're in a profession in which absolutely everybody is telling you their opinion, which is different. That's one of the reasons George Lucas never directed again.

You ought to love what you're doing because, especially in a movie, over time you really will start to hate it.

Francis Coppola 191 quotes

You have to really be courageous about your instincts and your ideas. Otherwise you'll just knuckle under, and things that might have been memorable will be lost.

When I was going for my graduate degree, I decided I was going to make a feature film as my thesis. That's what I was famous for-that I had my thesis film be a feature film, which was 'You're a Big Boy Now.'

When I was about 9, I had polio, and people were very frightened for their children, so you tended to be isolated. I was paralyzed for a while, so I watched television.

Francis Coppola 191 quotes

When I do a novel, I don't really use the script, I use the book; when I did Apocalypse Now, I used Heart of Darkness. Novels usually have so much rich material.

We were raised in an Italian-American household, although we didn't speak Italian in the house. We were very proud of being Italian, and had Italian music, ate Italian food.

We had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little, we went insane.

Francis Coppola 191 quotes

Usually, the stuff that's your best idea or work is going to be attacked the most.

Francis Coppola 191 quotes

They needed someone to write a script of The Great Gatsby very quickly for the movie they were making. I took this job so I'd be sure to have some dough to support my family.

The stuff that I got in trouble for, the casting for The Godfather or the flag scene in Patton, was the stuff that was remembered, and was considered the good work.
