"I believe that filmmaking - as, probably, is everything - is a game you should play with all your cards, and all your dice, and whatever else you've got. So, each time I make a movie, I give it everything I have. I think everyone should, and I think everyone should do everything they do that way."
Quote by -Francis Ford Coppola

Quote by -Francis Ford Coppola

Quote by -Francis Ford Coppola

Quote by -Francis Ford Coppola

Quote by -Francis Ford Coppola
"Some critics are stimulating in that they make you realise how you could do better, and those are valued."
Quote by -Francis Ford Coppola
"I know that if a film is ready to emerge out of what I write, I'll be able to go off and make it without asking anyone's permission."
Quote by -Francis Ford Coppola

Quote by -Francis Ford Coppola
"The time a movie is made is unique, not only from the talent that is available but if the public was ready for it."

Quote by -Francis Ford Coppola
"I was a pretty shy, lonely kid. I blossomed about age 17, when I went to college."
Quote by -Francis Ford Coppola
"I've been blessed with enough wealth that I can make a film myself up to a certain budget. So one way I thought I would reinvent myself was just to make these very small, personal films that I've financed myself."
Quote by -Francis Ford Coppola
"I have much to learn from my daughter Sofia. Her minimalism exposes my limitations: I'm too instinctive and operatic, I put too much heart into my work, I get lost sometimes in bizarre things - it's my Italian heritage."
Quote by -Francis Ford Coppola
"...there is no true understanding of any art without some knowledge of its philosophy. Only then does its meaning come clear."
Quote by -Frank Lloyd Wright
"Music is the one art we all have inside. We may not be able to play an instrument, but we can sing along or clap or tap our feet. Have you ever seen a baby bouncing up and down in the crib in time to some music? When you think of it, some of that baby's first messages from his or her parents may have been lullabies, or at least the music of their speaking voices. All of us have had the experience of hearing a tune from childhood and having that melody evoke a memory or a feeling. The music we hear early on tends to stay with us all our lives."
Quote by -Fred Rogers
"Criticism is the windows and chandeliers of art: it illuminates the enveloping darkness in which art might otherwise rest only vaguely discernible, and perhaps altogether unseen."
Quote by -George Jean Nathan
"To speak of morals in art is to speak of legislature in sex. Art is the sex of the imagination."
Quote by -George Jean Nathan
"To speak of morals in art is to speak of legislature in sex. Art is the sex of the imagination."
Quote by -George Jean Nathan
"If I want to pursue the art of painting - or music or writing or sculpture - it requires only my time and a few dollars for materials. If, however, I want to produce a motion picture I have to go out and raise a million dollars!"
Quote by -George Orson Welles
"Make your life your art. It doesn't have to be that you're an artist. I know I talk about art a lot, but I mean a very broad thing with that. You could be a veterinarian, that's your art. Find your art; find your thing you love."
Quote by -Gerard Way
"Asparagus in a lean in a lean is to hot. This makes it art and it is wet weather wet weather wet"
Quote by -Gertrude Stein
"Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know."
Quote by -Groucho Marx
"I think writing letters is a lost art, but nowadays it's something that means even more, because it's so easy to communicate in so many different ways. But I find a love letter can even be a little post-it note stuck in your pocket, with a sentence or a few words."
Quote by -Hilary Swank
"Art and psychoanalisis give shape and meaning to life and that's why we adore them. However, life as it is lived has no shape nor meaning, and that's what I am experiencing right now."
Quote by -Iris Murdoch
"Good art shows us how difficult it is to be objective by showing us how differently the world looks to an objective vision."
Quote by -Iris Murdoch

"In other countries, art and literature are left to a lot of shabby bums living in attics and feeding on booze and spaghetti."
Quote by -James Thurber
That's what's great about the arts. Everything inspires you, and you get a chance to grow from watching other people and how they do their work.
Quote by -Jamie Foxx
