More quotes by James Franco
I needed an outlet in high school and came across painting. I've actually been painting longer than I've been acting. A movie is a collaborative effort, and with painting you just have yourself.
James Franco
I worked the drive-through at McDonald's and tried out different accents - Italian, Russian, Irish.
James Franco
You say I sucked at the Oscars. I was a genius at the Oscars. That was experimental tuxedo sleep art.
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.'
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 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.
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 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
Sometimes it is painful to be oneself at other times it seems impossible to escape oneself.
James Franco
Directing, editing, and everything about filmmaking has definitely changed me as an actor.
James Franco
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.
James Franco
Teens today rule the world. The whole culture - movies, music - is pointed at young people. They have so 'much' power.
James Franco
The first piece of art that I ever bought - when I could afford it - was a Warhol sketch from the period when he was just getting out of doing commercial work and more into art. It's a sketch of a young guy's face. I guess the gallery that I bought it from thought I would like it because the young guy kind of looked like James Dean.
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'm an actor, I do movies, and I need to find somebody who enjoys that kind of stuff. It's not like, Oh, I have my work time, and we go on a date, and it better be darn fun and exciting! I think it should all coalesce a bit more.
James Franco
I'm a big cardigan sweater guy.

The selfie is the new way to look someone right in the eye and say, 'Hello, this is me.'
James Franco
This was the way the night had cashed in. Choices had been made and things happened, and here we were. It was sad, and funny. My life was made of this. Stuff like this.
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
