More quotes by James Franco
I view filmmaking as a director's medium.
James Franco

James Franco
Fight scenes are really more like dances than they are fights, because you're depending on your partner to do the right move at the right time. Yes, a tough person or somebody who knows what they're doing will look better in a fight scene, but it also has a lot to do with the other person.
James Franco
I personally just love movies about the creative process.

James Franco

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 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
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
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.
James Franco
The number of women in power positions is a fraction of the number of men in such positions.
James Franco
Sometimes rabbits, like, turn me on. I don't know why.
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
Generally you don't initiate the projects - they're designed and you're inserted. Your material is edited by somebody. You feel a lack of power over your work.
James Franco
I don't cast somebody that I think is like my younger self.
