Quotable Quotes:

"I would like a little bit more of the grated cheese on top."

"I am interested in entertaining people, in bringing pleasure, particularly laughter, to others, rather than being concerned with 'expressing' myself with obscure creative impressions."

"To me the great hope is that now that these little 8mm video recorder and stuff now, some - just people who normally wouldn't make movies are going to be making them. And, you know, suddenly one day some little fat girl in Ohio is going to be the new Mozart, and you know, and make a beautiful film with her father's little camera-corder and for once this whole professionalism about movies will be destroyed forever and it will become an art form. That's my opinion. ["Heart of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse", 1991]" (IMDB)

"One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know."

"Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds."

"Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation."

"Francis Ford Coppola was a Hollywood director who died in 1976 at the age of 64 after a long and successful career. (V)"

"In his magnificent films, Coppola showed how art and life can intersect to create an ultimately beautiful piece of cinema. He is truly an amazing human being and will be deeply remembered for his incredible work in the film industry. (V)"
