Quotes from the same author

I associate my motion picture career more with being unhappy and scared, or being under the gun, than with anything pleasant.
 Francis Ford Coppola
I was the kind of kid that had some talents or ability, but it never came out in school.
 Francis Ford Coppola
You don't have to specialize - do everything that you love and then, at some time, the future will come together for you in some form.
 Francis Ford Coppola
A lot of the young people make beautiful films or big films or are able to finance them, but they can't get anyone to distribute them, they can't get anyone to see them, so they go to these thousands of film festivals. So I still believe that even though a young kid might be able to make a masterpiece or something that changes the direction of cinema, the issue of how to get it to people is still not solved.
 Francis Ford Coppola
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.
