More quotes by James Franco
School allowed me to have outlets so that some of the pressure was taken off the acting. Every role in every movie, I used to live or die by. Once I had these new outlets, I relaxed a lot more.
James Franco
I drank from the bottle again and it was a scary plunge because I always wanted to take too much. It hurt, but it was also impressive, like being in the hands of a bigger force. And because of that, a relief.
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
I am actually turned off when I look at an account and don’t see any selfies, because I want to know whom I’m dealing with. In our age of social networking, the selfie is the new way to look someone right in the eye and say, 'Hello, this is me.'

If liking Katy Perry and drinking margaritas is gay, then who wants to be straight?!
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've come to a point where I just want to do movies that I just believe in. I have come to an understanding of filmmaking, a new understanding where I believe it's a director's medium. That means working with people that I believe in.
James Franco
The wind came in languid gusts like whispered reminders.
James Franco
Adapting a book is essentially a collaboration, whether the author is alive or dead.
James Franco
I was kind of scared of failing at acting.
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
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'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 always see nice images like that but I don't know what to do with them. I guess you share them with someone. Or you write them down in a poem. I had so many of those little images, but I never shared them or wrote any of them down.
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
The number of women in power positions is a fraction of the number of men in such positions.

The selfie is the new way to look someone right in the eye and say, 'Hello, this is me.'
James Franco
I view filmmaking as a director's medium.
