Coppola Quotations

We were swinging the bats the whole game, putting it in play. When Coppola hit it out, they saw he got elevation, and suddenly the groundouts turned into line drives.

I just worked with Sofia Coppola and that was amazing. I learned so much from her. I can't even describe how much fun I had.

I grew up on film sets and I had a ball. It wouldn't have had nearly as much fun if my dad had been working behind a desk somewhere. I remember being on the set of 'The Godfather: Part III,' and all the kids were running around and doing crazy things, and Francis Ford Coppola just embraced that.

Our choice of Mickey is so obvious. He has been around so long he has become a part of American history. It just took a while to recognize his value as a national treasure. Mickey was a star at the same time Gloria Swanson reigned, the Telluride Film Festival's very first Silver Medallion recipient. After his crash, we thought his career had ended when he appeared in noir quickies, but he was rediscovered by Francis Ford Coppola and played Henry in 'The Black Stallion.' Mickey went on to win an Emmy for his performance of a mentally impaired man in 'Bill.' He still performs in live shows. No one has seen more of Hollywood than Mickey.

Sofia Coppola is wonderful, and I'd love to work with her.

We support each other in the Coppola family. We love the idea of everyone getting his place in the sun.

We really knocked down some threes, and that kind of separated things quickly. We continued to be unselfish out there. We're getting more and more assists each game, we're making the extra pass in order to get a better one. Coppola set the tone with his finishing at the beginning, and we're shooting the ball better.

Obviously if you're Coppola going into 'Apocalypse Now' off the back of the two 'Godfathers,' you're in a much better position than coming off the back of something like 'Dust Devil,' which had scarcely been released, and was pretty much lying around in film cans in different places.

Just personally, I've been attached to 'On the Road' since 2007 and it was the greatest thing in my life when I got cast in it. I couldn't believe it. When I was 17 and read the book, I looked it up on IMDb and it said that Francis Ford Coppola was going to direct it.

When Scorsese or Coppola cast celebrities in their work, it goes without question.
