Francis Ford Coppola Cinema Quotations

Sequels are not done for the audience or cinema or the filmmakers. It's for the distributor. The film becomes a brand.

Anyone who's made film and knows about the cinema has a lifelong love affair with the experience. You never stop learning about film.

Without a doubt, I was born to want to make cinema, but the kind of cinema I want to make is not like commercial movies, which I enjoy myself, but I wanted to be the kind of filmmaker who wrote original work, sort of like a novelist would who deals with who we are and our times or our relationships.

Ten Days That Shook The World, by Eisenstein, I went to see it, and I was so impressed with this film, so impressed with what cinema could do.

The essence of cinema is editing.
