A Quote by Francis Ford Coppola

I was a pretty shy, lonely kid. I blossomed about age 17, when I went to college. — © Francis Ford Coppola
I was a pretty shy, lonely kid. I blossomed about age 17, when I went to college.
I had a band and I didn't go to high school, all my friends were older than me. It was pretty cool to have such a focus at that age, but also it alienated me from a lot of people my age. So I felt pretty lonely and I didn't really have many friends when I was a kid.
I was a very lucky child because at the age of 16, 17 years old, my parents would buy me clothes from Yves Saint Laurent, which was an incredible luxury at the time, but I was attracted to that whole world. I had a pretty nice little wardrobe by the age of 17.
I was, at times, painfully shy as a kid and all the way through college.
I was always a pretty shy kid.
I didn't have the opportunity to go to college. I was busy touring since the age of 17.
I was a super shy, shy kid, so that was kind of my way of expressing myself - to mimic what I saw on TV. I was a bit of a weird kid, but luckily my parents encouraged it.
I was a short, chubby kid, pretty shy.
I was 17 when it was being filmed and so I was at an age where you are learning a lot about yourself. I came out of school to film it, and I hadn't been having a good time in school before that. I get quite shy around big groups of people. If I meet people, especially my peers and people my own age, I always struggle because I've always worked with adults and they have a tendency to molly coddle you a bit when you're the youngest on-set.
I'm concerned with the lost, the lonely, the shy. I think shyness is in some ways more widespread now than formerly. I used to be shy myself. Of course, you can't be me now and remain shy, but I remember very well what it felt like.
I was a shy kid. I didn't know how to talk to people my own age.
I was kind of shy as a kid. I was a pretty good student. I was a wallflower, or nerd, if you will.
For Beatrice, when we first met, I was lonely, and you were pretty. Now I am pretty lonely.
I think I was a pretty anxious dreamer, maybe a fundamentally lonely kid.
In high school, my first thing ever was I played Tony in 'West Side Story' when I was about 17. I was a really shy kid, and I just, like, forced myself to learn how to sing this one month because I loved 'West Side Story' so much, and I somehow managed to get the role.
Im pretty shy when I go home because I was pretty shy growing up, and I think I go back to that person.
I was fifteen in college at Tulane. I lied about my age in college so that I could be normal socially. So that girls would go out with me and stuff like that. I just said I was normal age.
