Godfather was just a job he took to support the fam. He says in this interview he always regretted not writing and directing his own stuff. Now he's finally got around to this dream with Youth Without Youth and now Tetro. Although, I believe The Conversation, probably my favorite film of all time, was also all his.
You might not think Coppola is an indie filmmaker having worked for studios on many of his films. But he has gone head to head with them and has broken out on his own, creating Zoetrope in San Francisco with George Lucas and a few other USC film school grads, early in their careers, to escape the L.A. madness.
This is a two part interview on last night and tonight, 8/4/09 on Tavis Smiley.
