beautiful believe kids
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.
beautiful dream writing
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.
beautiful eye night
My family were symphonic musicians and in the opera. Also, it was my era, the love of radio. We used to listen to the radio at night, close our eyes and see movies far more beautiful than you can photograph.
beautiful girl art
The great hope is that people who wouldn't normally make films will be making them. Suddenly, one day some little fat girl in Ohio is going to be the new Mozart and make a beautiful film with her father's camera and for once the so called professionalism about movies will be destroyed forever - and it will really become an art form.
beautiful art risk
An essential element of any art is risk. If you don't take a risk then how are you going to make something really beautiful, that hasn't been seen before?
badly family iq low
I was always the black sheep of the family and always told that I was dumb, and I had a low IQ and did badly in school.
people
My company and people think I'm wacky when I have an idea... I know if I have an idea, no one will want to go through it. But if I persist, people will go through it.
changed definitely life
'The Godfather' changed my life, for better or worse. It definitely made me have an older man's film career when I was 29.
I remember teachers who really singled me out for their discouragement.
coppola family love
We support each other in the Coppola family. We love the idea of everyone getting his place in the sun.
critics figure films four life money opinion rule seem three
My big goal in life was always to figure out how I can make a lot of money so I can go off and make films irrespective of the opinion of the three or four critics who seem to rule the roost.
job
I had to get a job, and of course, the job was 'The Godfather.' That made me be something I didn't know I was going to be. I became a big-shot director.
good
We do things for good reasons that are bad.
possible time
Movie-wise, there is nothing I wouldn't do again. It's not possible to make one perfect movie every time.
