I wanted to do serious movies. I had a certain idea of what good acting was. That's since changed, and I love doing comedies now. I don't like a lot of those movies now, but I thought those were movies that I could do real, serious performances in.

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.

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
