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.

More quotes by 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.

I personally just love movies about the creative process.
James Franco
Showing the addiction and unusual sexual practices are ways of just outlining a much bigger character trait.
James Franco
There's art on the show that's really bad - these cliché Abstract Expressionist gestural things. It's almost like extensions of my performance, because in the scene I'm really mad.
James Franco
Almost all the movies I've directed are adaptations. And I think what I found when I went to film school, where they try to push you to find your voice or your thing, is that I got a lot of things out of adaptations.
James Franco
I teach a lot - I teach at the UCLA and USC graduate film programs - and a lot of those projects are my students' projects that I act in or I do a cameo.

Adapting a book is essentially a collaboration, whether the author is alive or dead.
James Franco
The Wolfpack is a real life clash of life and fiction and the saving power of brotherhood and make-believe.
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.
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
All I know is that when I needed McDonald’s, McDonald’s was there for me.
James Franco
I have high aspirations. I want to be an architect.
James Franco
It feels really sad, to me, to go to a dark bedroom. It's like surrendering to the night or something.
James Franco
When I was younger, I didn’t know that I should just listen to my own voice, my own artistic sense of things when I was choosing projects, because one of the biggest creative decisions that an actor can make in the film business is what you will work on.
James Franco
My style is casual-chic? Casual-messy?
James Franco
Sometimes it is painful to be oneself at other times it seems impossible to escape oneself.
