Sofia Coppola on Kirsten Dunst:
“We kind of grew up together in our career life and as people. I met her when I was 29 and now we both ... have had kids. And it's fun to see her now be a mother. And so she's like a little sister.”
Sofia Coppola reflects on her filmmaking style:
“As a young woman starting out making films, I always felt like I didn’t see teenage girls represented in a way that was relatable. Films weren’t made for them in a respectful way, or with beautiful photography.”
Sofia Coppola for The Guardian:
“Across all my films, there is a common quality: there is always a world and there is always a girl trying to navigate it. That’s the story that will always intrigue me.”
Sofia Coppola almost directed the final Twilight movie:
“We had one meeting, and it never went anywhere. I thought the whole imprinting-werewolf thing was weird. The baby. Too weird! But part of the earlier Twilight could be done in an interesting way.”
Quentin Tarantino praises Sofia Coppola's visionboard for Marie Antoinette:
“It was exquisitely put together, yet you could still tell it was handmade by the loving hands of a fine artist”
Sofia Coppola on Romy Mars’ viral Tik Tok:
“It was the best way for [Romy] to be rebellious. I got lots of compliments on her filmmaking, and comedy. She’s funny. But people discussing my parenting publicly is not what I would’ve hoped for.”
Sofia Coppola on ‘Marie Antoinette’ in a recent interview for Vanity Fair:
“I was happy we got to make that movie, but nobody saw it. It was a flop. So the fact that it’s lived on and people talk about it has been really satisfying because so much work went into it.”
Sofia Coppola’s daughters didn’t like the age gap between Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray in Lost In Translation:
“They were like, ‘Why is she so young and he’s so much older?’ I had made it when I was closer to Scarlett’s age and didn’t think that much about it.”
Despite wanting to shoot some scenes of ‘Priscilla’ in Los Angeles, Sofia Coppola couldn't do it due to the limited budget.
Coppola saved money by borrowing footage from a Cartier commercial she’d shot in 2018, with an actress who kind of looks like Cailee Spaeny.
