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.

More quotes by James Franco
The fame and the fame-hungry world we live in does it all for you. Women are lining up on your Instagram account to meet you.
James Franco
I view filmmaking as a director's medium.

You're a white male living in America, brought up in one of the richest cities in the county, Palo Alto. You went to high school with Steve Jobs' daughter, and your journalism teacher is the mother-in-law of Sergey, co-founder of Google.
James Franco
Acting is an art form and you want to take roles that are challenged and it's more of a challenge I think to play dark characters. Not that I want to always play those, but it is a challenge and challenges are rewarding and fun.
James Franco
Most of the books that I've adapted I'm doing because I love the book and I feel like it's a great work of art in itself, and when it's a great book I feel as a director or a writer that I have a responsibility to rise to the level of the original. It makes me try to reach higher.
James Franco
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
Teens today rule the world. The whole culture - movies, music - is pointed at young people. They have so 'much' power.

If I'm working on a film, I'll do sit-ups for before I shoot. Like, 100 in the morning or something.
James Franco
I feel there are so many things in this world that have been and are being created that I could spend the rest of my life thinking about, and I couldn't cover all the things I'm interested in. That to me is what makes life sweet-learning and exploring.
James Franco
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
There's a long tradition of teen comedies where the kids are getting drunk on beer and whatever else, so smoking a joint to me is no worse than having a beer. So, if someone has a problem with it, I'll just tell them to relax.
James Franco
Not having any real direction, one writer would lead me to another.
James Franco
There's art on the show that's really bad - these cliché Abstract Expressionist gestural things. It's almost like extensions of my performance, because in the scene I'm really mad.
James Franco
I start movies with people that I believe in and people with visions, you know, that I believe in. And so if it doesn't kind of come together in the right way, at least I was doing it because I believed in the person and the movie.
James Franco
Japanese moe relationships socially dysfunctional men develop deep attachments to body pillows with women painted on them.
James Franco
I was an English major at UCLA when I was 18, and then I left after a year to start acting. I was educating myself during that time.
James Franco
Almost all the movies I've directed are adaptations. And I think what I found when I went to film school, where they try to push you to find your voice or your thing, is that I got a lot of things out of adaptations.
James Franco
The wind came in languid gusts like whispered reminders.
James Franco
You take advantage of your position as a famous actor to meet women.
James Franco
I always see nice images like that but I don't know what to do with them. I guess you share them with someone. Or you write them down in a poem. I had so many of those little images, but I never shared them or wrote any of them down.
