More quotes by James Franco
I'm a big cardigan sweater guy.
James Franco
I wouldn't want to live life in an untroubled garden, blissful and ignorant. I would want to get out into the world, and be a part of something. In a way I was born into the Garden of Eden, or as close as you can get in our world I was born white, male, and in Palo Alto. I had it pretty kush.
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
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
I don't cast somebody that I think is like my younger self.
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
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 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
When I read the book [The Adderall Diaries] I loved it, and I maybe had an inkling that there was a lot of good material in there. I didn't quite know at the time how to adapt it into a film, but I hoped I would figure it out one day.
James Franco
Directing, editing, and everything about filmmaking has definitely changed me as an actor.
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 think as far as straight actors playing gay roles, Brokeback Mountain was a big breakthrough. I'm pretty sure when they were casting that movie that - I think the story is, like you know, 10 to 15 other actors turned it down.
James Franco
It's hard when you're doing a film based on a true story to really figure out what all those relationships were.
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
I loved the book [The Adderall Diaries] I optioned it, I think some years ago. But there's a lot of different threads in the book. It starts off as one thing, where he's trying to cover this murder trial, and then his own life starts to impinge on that, so it becomes something else. I found that fascinating.
James Franco
Sometimes rabbits, like, turn me on. I don't know why.
James Franco
The Wolfpack is a real life clash of life and fiction and the saving power of brotherhood and make-believe.
James Franco
All I know is that when I needed McDonald’s, McDonald’s was there for me.
James Franco
I get like six or so hours of sleep a night.
James Franco
You are successful if you are able to work on the kind of material that you want to - if your life conforms to your dreams, regardless of outside acceptance or acclaim.
James Franco
