I enjoy fashion photography and textiles, that whole aspect of it. As more of an art form, I like Proenza Schouler. Those guys are really cool because they seem to have an interesting approach to it all. – Gia Coppola
The teenage years are such a great subject because everything is heightened and on the surface, and it deals with universal emotions that we face even as we get older. – Gia Coppola
I guess I knew my dad was into photography, so a part of me was interested in picking it up to understand him a little better. – Gia Coppola
Costumes say a lot about a character. When it came to ‘Palo Alto,’ it was important for me that the kids didn’t look perfect. In most teen movies today, all of the clothes are expensive. I remember wearing a lot of dirty vintage clothes. – Gia Coppola
Now that I’m older, I have a much better appreciation of nature, and I love being alone. – Gia Coppola
I watched a lot of movies about teenagers, including ‘The Last Picture Show,’ ‘American Graffiti,’ ‘Rumblefish.’ It’s one of my favorite genres. – Gia Coppola
Usually when I get nervous and don’t know how to prepare for something, I just don’t do anything at all, which is not necessarily the best idea. – Gia Coppola
I went to a private school, and I struggled academically. It was really disheartening to always be considered bad at that. – Gia Coppola
Movies are a collaboration, I feel, so I didn’t think of myself as an authoritative figure as much. – Gia Coppola
I studied photography at Bard, but I just felt tired of it. Someone asked me to be in a video but didn’t want to be in it, so they told me to make my own, and that seemed more fun to me. – Gia Coppola
