More quotes by James Franco
Showing the addiction and unusual sexual practices are ways of just outlining a much bigger character trait.
James Franco
If many people love me, then I must be important.
James Franco
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
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'm an actor, I do movies, and I need to find somebody who enjoys that kind of stuff. It's not like, Oh, I have my work time, and we go on a date, and it better be darn fun and exciting! I think it should all coalesce a bit more.
James Franco
I get like six or so hours of sleep a night.
James Franco
It feels really sad, to me, to go to a dark bedroom. It's like surrendering to the night or something.
James Franco
My style is casual-chic? Casual-messy?
James Franco
I view filmmaking as a director's medium.
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.
James Franco
I learned a lot of good things in my school. I've audited a lot of other schools, and I guess after a while I got a little tired of the acting school atmosphere.
James Franco
I used to care about how I looked. Now I don’t care as much. Maybe it’s because I’m so handsome.
James Franco
I've come to a point where I just want to do movies that I just believe in. I have come to an understanding of filmmaking, a new understanding where I believe it's a director's medium. That means working with people that I believe in.
James Franco
School allowed me to have outlets so that some of the pressure was taken off the acting. Every role in every movie, I used to live or die by. Once I had these new outlets, I relaxed a lot more.
James Franco
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.
James Franco
I'm starting to teach now: I teach in the graduate film program at NYU and next year I'm going to be teaching at Los Angeles at the film program and English program at UCLA.
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
I teach a lot - I teach at the UCLA and USC graduate film programs - and a lot of those projects are my students' projects that I act in or I do a cameo.
James Franco
We all age. You shouldn't discount it as a subject for a film. Just because the characters are dealing with issues that you might not deal with for another 45 years doesn't mean you won't like it.
James Franco
Sometimes it is painful to be oneself at other times it seems impossible to escape oneself.
James Franco
