I just try to do what I'm interested in and hope that some people will connect.

My dad told me, 'Your movie's never as good as the dailies and never as bad as the rough cut.

I like to write things to be personal, so I just put what I'm thinking about at the time.
Sofia Coppola -
There's something about being a teenager that's so sincere. Everything is more epic, like your first crush. I feel that it's not always portrayed very accurately.
Sofia Coppola -
I feel like the internet has encouraged people to look into things and try to find issuesthat because people have a lot of opinions. I think it's really important to encourage artistic freedom. I think if you inhibit that, that could be dangerous.
Sofia Coppola -
I definitely have had friendships and moments with people from different backgrounds and in different stages of their lives.
Sofia Coppola -
Thats the way I work: I try to imagine what I would like to see.
Sofia Coppola -
I just remember seventh grade as being really difficult, because there's nothing meaner than a girl at that age. You gang up on people, and it's traumatic. It wasn't so bad for me, but there's a woman I know who's still traumatized by junior high. At that age, everything seems like a huge deal, but of course that changes when you get older.

I really didn't know what I wanted to do. I went to art school and tried a bunch of different things, but I knew I wanted to do something in the visual arts. And I'd always been around my dad's film sets, so the interest was there. But I didn't have the guts to say, "I want to be a director," especially coming from that family.
Sofia Coppola -
We were always around my dad, so he wasn't absentee at all. I don't think it was normal, but it was exciting. You always had lots of creative people around, and my parents took us everywhere.
Sofia Coppola -
My movies are not about being, but becoming.
Sofia Coppola -
I never get myself in a situation where I don't have creative freedom.
Sofia Coppola -
I think being mediocre and in the middle would be the worst. It's more interesting to get strong reactions, and to have the mixture of people who get it and the people who don't get it. And to invite a dialogue.
Sofia Coppola -
Making films is like making stuff together as kids.
Sofia Coppola
-
When you're making a film you're thinking about how to tell the story visually.
Sofia Coppola -
More actors in action movies should be gangly because that way it's believable when they move through tight spaces.
Sofia Coppola -
Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven.
Sofia Coppola -
I really wanted to emphasize the idea of the women being isolated and abandoned . . . and they weren't raised to take care of themselves, so they had to learn to survive.
Sofia Coppola -
My parents were always encouraging of us being creative however we wanted to be. People say, "You didn't get pressured into having to be a director?" But it's hard to be around my dad and not be curious about filmmaking, because he thinks it's the ultimate medium.
Sofia Coppola -
I like doing personal films, after doing a bigger movie, I enjoy doing smaller, intimate films.

I always remember my dad saying, "No one makes a remake unless they are trying to make money; there is no reason for it." It was not an honorable thing to do.
Sofia Coppola -
You don't have to be loud. If you know what you want, people respect that.
Sofia Coppola -
I think I'm always drawn to projects that help me understand something about myself.
Sofia Coppola -
I got exposed to so many different cultures and people.
