And the award-winning filmmaker feels that it was his early marriageto his late wifethat became the reason he was able to reach such incredible heights in his decades-long career. Back in 2011, the filmmaker was interviewed at the Toronto International Film Festival (viaHuffpost) and was asked by a young woman what advice he would give to her.
Coppola stated,
“Well, if it’s a guy, I say get married …. I was married at 22, and I was desperate to have kids. I had so much fun with my kids. The fact that I was married and had this family of little kids, I was very responsible, I wanted to have a house they could live in, so I worked very hard.”
He went on, counting the many reasons why his early marriage had a positive influence on his career. Yet, when it comes to young women, he remarked,
“If you’re a young woman, I would say, don’t get married, because then you have this guy who’s trying to get you to do everything for his career. And you’re not going to have any time for your own career.”
