Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Francis Ford Coppola
- We teach our boys to firebomb villages, but we won’t let them write fuck on the side of their planes because it’s obscene.
- The essence of cinema is editing. It’s the combination of what can be extraordinary images of people during emotional moments, or images in a general sense, put together in a kind of alchemy.
- Anyone who’s made film and knows about the cinema has a lifelong love affair with the experience. You never stop learning about film.
- Everything I do is personal. I have never made a movie that didn’t have very strong personal resonance.
- I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.
- We want you to take from us. We want you, at first, to steal from us, because you can’t steal. You will take what we give you and you will put it in your own voice and that’s how you will find your voice.
- 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.’
- I know that if a film is ready to emerge out of what I write, I’ll be able to go off and make it without asking anyone’s permission.
- I live near San Francisco in the most beautiful spot on earth and enjoy myself in many ways. Yes, I love to work, which for now is to think and read and write, so it’s all a dream come true.
