If the work is good, what does it matter? I'm doing it because I love it. Why not do as many things I love as I can? As long as the work is good.

If many people love me, then I must be important.

I worked the drive-through at McDonald's and tried out different accents - Italian, Russian, Irish.

If you just read the book, you're taking in the narrative, you're taking in the characters, you're understanding it in a certain way. If you make a movie it's really an act of translation.

I used to care about how I looked. Now I don’t care as much. Maybe it’s because I’m so handsome.

If liking Katy Perry and drinking margaritas is gay, then who wants to be straight?!

I worked at a McDonald's drive-through. I could always tell when girls were interested: They'd drive around again and say, I forgot something.

I loved the world of Oz. I guess as a young man, I was just drawn to fantasy worlds. I liked being transported to alternative realms where a lot of my early imagination was sparked.
James Franco
Image
The hair is really a way to push me even farther out of just what people know me for. I don't really know what people know me for.

Image
I love that the idea of examining memory, and the way memory is edited was made more interesting because it was being filtered through a writer.
James Franco
Image
I felt, implicitly, or not so implicitly, that subjects about women and other races were out of my jurisdiction as a creator. That if I moved too far from my own experience, and my own established identity, I would be criticized for taking even more of those wedding pies from others.

My style is casual-chic? Casual-messy?

I've decided I can't really control people's perceptions of me. All I can do is decide on what I work on and how hard I work on it.

I wouldn't want to live life in an untroubled garden, blissful and ignorant. I would want to get out into the world, and be a part of something. In a way I was born into the Garden of Eden, or as close as you can get in our world I was born white, male, and in Palo Alto. I had it pretty kush.

I was supposed to go out with this girl, but the plans mixed up because I was working late. So I went to her apartment with a flower. She was asleep, but I really wanted to see her. I figured I'd be like Romeo, and climbed up to her balcony and gave her a rose. She was very shocked. After that, it was over.
