Adapting a book is essentially a collaboration, whether the author is alive or dead.
James Franco
The selfie is the new way to look someone right in the eye and say, 'Hello, this is me.'
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
If many people love me, then I must be important.
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 felt, implicitly, or not so implicitly, that subjects about women and other races were out of my jurisdiction as a creator. That if I moved too far from my own experience, and my own established identity, I would be criticized for taking even more of those wedding pies from others.

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.

I don't cast somebody that I think is like my younger self.
James Franco
The wind came in languid gusts like whispered reminders.
James Franco
You say I sucked at the Oscars. I was a genius at the Oscars. That was experimental tuxedo sleep art.
James Franco
The number of women in power positions is a fraction of the number of men in such positions.
James Franco
Directing, editing, and everything about filmmaking has definitely changed me as an actor.
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
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
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
I don't have many hobbies. If I think of hobbies, maybe ping pong. But I don't have a desire to get a ping pong medal.
James Franco
I get to work with incredibly talented young filmmakers and students, and their attitudes and relationship with film is still so pure. That re-inspires me and reminds me why I got into it and what I love about film, and allows me a little reprieve from the business side of it. And it rekindles my love of film.
