Francis Ford Coppola Quotes:
Ocupation: Film director
Life: b. April 7, 1939
Birthday: April 7
I wanted to be a film student again, as a man in my 60s. To go someplace alone and see what you can cook up, with non-existent budgets. I didn't want to be surrounded by comforts and colleagues, which you have when when you're a big time director. I wanted to write personal works.
