“Basically, I wanted Woody Allen’s career. My films maybe would have been farther afield from one another, but he dreams this thing up, he writes it, he makes it, and it’s his. He’s not trying to figure out how to dream up a third Mario Puzo novel or how to make Bram Stoker play for a modern audience. I guess I’ve been too flexible, or too versatile, whichever way you want to look at it, to stick to that writer-director concept.”

--Francis Ford Coppola, in Interview.
