7. Quotes About Coppola
Coppola has problems getting
financing, so why should I
not have problems getting
financing. -Alex Winter
I think my favorite, and Coppola
and that whole thing. East coast
Italian directors I guess.
-Anthony Michael Hall
The money part is one of the most difficult
things. Coppola always said I should do a
tango movie. If it hadn't been for him, I don't
know where we would have gotten the money.
-Robert Duvall

8. Quotes By Coppola
We were raised in an Italian-American household,
although we didn`t speak Italian in the house. We
were very proud of being Italian, and had Italian
music, ate Italian food. -Coppola
The Godfather changed my life, for better or worse.
It definitely made me have an older man`s film
career when I was 29. So now I say, `If I had my older
career when I was young, as an older man, maybe I
can have a young film-maker`s career.` -Coppola
When I was about 9, I had polio, and people were very
frightened for their children, so you tended to be
isolated. I was paralyzed for a while, so I watched
television. -Coppola
Coppola in his later
years

Coppola has made many big influences in the way
that people film now.
One is that people film their shots, with much less
light, making them more dramatic
Another being that coppola incorporated a lot of
culture into his movie ‘the godfather’ and that
really changed a lot about how stories were told
