68 Quotes by Sofia Coppola

My father is so in love with making movies, and he’sso charismatic about it, that it’s hard to be around him withoutwanting to make movies.

It’s about moments in life that are great but don’t last. They don’t go on, but you always have the memory and they have an effect on you. That’s what I was thinking about.

Acting isn’t for me. I don’t like being told what to do. I’m more interested in set design, more visually driven.

The more you know who you are and what you want, the less let things upset you.

We were always around my dad, so he wasn’t absentee at all. I don’t think it was normal, but it was exciting. You always had lots of creative people around, and my parents took us everywhere.

Whenever I finish a movie, I usually go through a period where I think I'll never have another idea. And then, somehow, you get another idea.

That's the way I work: I try to imagine what I would like to see.

Of course I am proud of my dad and where I come from, but I do have my own way of working my own style.
