When I read the book [The Adderall Diaries] I loved it, and I maybe had an inkling that there was a lot of good material in there. I didn't quite know at the time how to adapt it into a film, but I hoped I would figure it out one day.

More quotes by 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.

You say I sucked at the Oscars. I was a genius at the Oscars. That was experimental tuxedo sleep art.

I worked at a McDonald's drive-through. I could always tell when girls were interested: They'd drive around again and say, I forgot something.

I'm a big cardigan sweater guy.

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
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.

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
I used to care about how I looked. Now I don’t care as much. Maybe it’s because I’m so handsome.
James Franco
If many people love me, then I must be important.
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
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
There's a large chunk of me in all the parts. As an actor, I got involved largely because I want to let things out. The best acting is that that is most real and the only way to do that, is to genuinely feel it.
James Franco
I love that the idea of examining memory, and the way memory is edited was made more interesting because it was being filtered through a writer.
James Franco
I personally just love movies about the creative process.
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
I still don't like going to bed alone.
James Franco
I've decided I can't really control people's perceptions of me. All I can do is decide on what I work on and how hard I work on it.
James Franco
The wind came in languid gusts like whispered reminders.
