More quotes by James Franco
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.
James Franco
I love to bring humour into my work. Because comedy is not a huge part of the art world. And big-business film takes itself very seriously.
James Franco
Not having any real direction, one writer would lead me to another.
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
There's a large chunk of me in all the parts. As an actor, I got involved largely because I want to let things out. The best acting is that that is most real and the only way to do that, is to genuinely feel it.
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 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
All I know is that when I needed McDonald’s, McDonald’s was there for me.
James Franco
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.
James Franco
Sometimes rabbits, like, turn me on. I don't know why.
James Franco
I still don't like going to bed alone.
James Franco
When I was a young actor, I just didn’t understand how to function in this business as an artist. It is a business, it’s called the film business for a reason, there’s money involved ... But on the flip side, now I do not let the business side of it rule either. It’s a balance.
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
You say I sucked at the Oscars. I was a genius at the Oscars. That was experimental tuxedo sleep art.
James Franco
Always have one artistic thing that is pure, at least one thing, where you don’t compromise. You can do other things to make money, but have one pure area.
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
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.
James Franco
I am actually turned off when I look at an account and don’t see any selfies, because I want to know whom I’m dealing with. In our age of social networking, the selfie is the new way to look someone right in the eye and say, 'Hello, this is me.'
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 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.
