The internet in hotels should be free - and I really resent it when they charge you five dollars for a bottle of water beside your bed.
From Francis Ford Coppola
Sequels are not done for the audience or cinema or the filmmakers. It's for the distributor. The film becomes a brand.
Sound is your friend because sound is much cheaper than picture, but it has equal effect on the audience - in some ways, perhaps more effect because it does it in a very indirect way.
I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.
If I have to be remembered for something, I want it remembered that I really liked children and was a good camp counselor.
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.
Usually, the stuff that's your best idea or work is going to be attacked the most.
It's ironic that at age 32, at probably the greatest moment of my career, with The Godfather having such an enormous success, I wasn't even aware of it, because I was somewhere else under the deadline again.
George Lucas doesn't have the most physical stamina. He was so unhappy making Star Wars that he just vowed he'd never do it again.
As long as I can make lots of money in other businesses, I'll continue to subsidize my own work.
