I personally just love movies about the creative process.

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.

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
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
I went to NYU graduate film school and met Pam [Romanowsky], and after doing a few things with her I thought she had the right sensibility and that she could figure it [The Adderall Diaries] out.
James Franco
I love to bring humour into my work. Because comedy is not a huge part of the art world. And big-business film takes itself very seriously.
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'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 get like six or so hours of sleep a night.
James Franco
