More quotes by James Franco
I have high aspirations. I want to be an architect.
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
You say I sucked at the Oscars. I was a genius at the Oscars. That was experimental tuxedo sleep art.
James Franco
Sometimes it is painful to be oneself at other times it seems impossible to escape oneself.
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
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 feel there are so many things in this world that have been and are being created that I could spend the rest of my life thinking about, and I couldn't cover all the things I'm interested in. That to me is what makes life sweet-learning and exploring.
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
Generally you don't initiate the projects - they're designed and you're inserted. Your material is edited by somebody. You feel a lack of power over your work.
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
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.
James Franco
I'm a big cardigan sweater guy.
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
Teens today rule the world. The whole culture - movies, music - is pointed at young people. They have so 'much' power.
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
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
The fame and the fame-hungry world we live in does it all for you. Women are lining up on your Instagram account to meet you.
James Franco
You take advantage of your position as a famous actor to meet women.
James Franco
I personally just love movies about the creative process.
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.
