People feel the worst film I made was 'Jack.' But to this day, when I get checks from old movies I've made, 'Jack' is one of the biggest ones. No one knows that. If people hate the movie, they hate the movie. I just wanted to work with Robin Williams. Francis Ford Coppola
Francis Ford Coppola quote: "I had a number of teachers who hated me. I didn't do well in..."

Francis Ford Coppola quote: "As long as I can make lots of money in other businesses, I'll..."

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. Francis Ford Coppola
... there's a hormone secreted into the bloodstream of most writers that makes them hate their own work while they are doing it, or immediately after. This, coupled with the chorus of critical reaction from those privileged to take a first look, is almost enough to discourage further work entirely. Francis Ford Coppola
Francis Ford Coppola quote: "We do things for good reasons that are bad."
