Sofia Coppola

Whenever I finish a movie, I usually go through a period where I think I'll never have another idea. And then, somehow, you get another idea.

We were always around my dad, so he wasn't absentee at all. I don't think it was normal, but it was exciting. You always had lots of creative people around, and my parents took us everywhere.

Everyone in my family is in the film business; I knew I wanted to be creative and it was important in my family to be artistic.

That's the way I work: I try to imagine what I would like to see.

I work with my brother a lot, and we don't fight - probably because it's not two girls. And he's six years older. But I have daughters who are three years apart, and they fight all the time.
