"We had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little, we went insane." ― Francis Ford Coppola Topic(s): Money More From Francis Ford Coppola "When newspapers started to publish the box office scores of movies, I was horrified. Those results are totally fake because they never include the promotion budget." "I’ve been offered lots of movies. There’s always some actor who’s doing a project and would like to have me do it. But you look at the project and think, ‘Gee, there are a lot of good directors who could do that.’ I’d like to do something only I can do." "I was never sloppy with other people’s money. Only my own. Because I figure, well, you can be."

It’s probably because they have forgotten their own."― Margaret Atwood "A simple fact that is hard to learn is that the time to save money is when you have some."― Joe Moore
