looks vietnam littles
I used to love going into local hardware stores, to look at little things they made locally. Nowadays it's harder, though you can still do it in Vietnam.
growing-up patterns littles
I remember growing up with television, from the time it was just a test pattern, with maybe a little bit of programming once in a while.
home years littles
I just finished a film a few days ago, and I came home and said I learned so much today. So if I can come home from working on a little film after doing it for 45 years and say, I learned so much today, that shows something about the cinema. Because the cinema is very young. It's only 100 years old.
black-and-white littles nine
I made this movie for $40,000, which was this little black-and-white horror film called Dementia 13, which we made in about nine days.
littles kind psychologist
I never went to a psychologist or psychiatrist in my life. Never. You know, Italians are a little prejudiced against that kind of thing.
insane littles too-much
We had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little, we went insane.
thinking answers littles
In a sense, I think a movie is really a little like a question and when you make it, that's when you get the answer.
trying littles talent
My talent is that I just try and try and try and try again and little by little it comes to something...
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.
