Sofia Coppola says she knows a project is worth making when it scares her
Even with years of experience, Sofia Coppola says the uncertainty of making a movie never goes away.
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Sofia Coppola has shared that she considers fear as a sign that a new project is worth pursuing. During an appearance on the Happy Hour with Ina Garten podcast, Coppola expressed that every new movie still scares her, and that the feeling makes the work meaningful. She also noted that she avoids reading bad reviews, but recently discovered a box of negative reviews for her 2006 film Marie Antoinette, which she finds heartening as the film has found a new audience that enjoys it.
Coppola's perspective on fear aligns with other high-profile figures like Barbara Corcoran and Anna Kendrick, who have also expressed that self-doubt and a sense of being an impostor have driven their success.
