years ideas hypocrisy
Of all the human evils, of which we have thousands of years of record and our own contemporary experiences, the most horrible evil of all is hypocrisy. It's this idea that there are those who do bad and there are those who do good, when, in fact, even the people who supposedly do good are saying they do good to mask the fact that they do evil.
art ideas interesting
The whole reason one wants to do lower budget films is because the lower the budget, the bigger the ideas, the bigger the themes, the more interesting the art.
strong ideas growing
It is a little disappointing to see that your legs are not as strong. But I like the idea of growing old, and the thought of approaching death is not particularly daunting to me.
ideas vision example
Films and hotels have many aspects that are the same. For example, there is always a big vision, an idea.
father son ideas
I was interested in the idea of succession - showing a father and a son both in their own time and drawing a contrast
ideas self sticks
If you're not allowed to experiment anymore for fear of being considered self-indulgent or pretentious or what have you, then everyone's going to just stick to the rules - there's not going to be any additional ideas.
ideas vivid-imagination talent
I have more of a vivid imagination than I have talent. I cook up ideas. It's just a characteristic.
courage memorable ideas
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.
ideas stuff
Usually, the stuff that's your best idea or work is going to be attacked the most.
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.
