More From Francis Ford Coppola
- "I had a heartbreaking experience when I was 9. I always wanted to be a guard. The most wonderful girl in the world was a guard. When I got polio and then went back to school, they made me a guard. A teacher took away my guard button."
- "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."
- "We had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little, we went insane."

- "To me, the newspaper business was a way to learn about life and how things worked in the real world and how people spoke.

But I always wanted to write novels."― Carl Hiaasen
- "Profit in business comes from repeat customers, customers that boast about your project or service, and that bring friends with them."― W. Edwards Deming
