More quotes by James Franco
I have high aspirations. I want to be an architect.
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
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
He was so. So dirty, and just moving in front of me, and cute. I was in love with him, especially because he was talking to me.
James Franco
I felt, implicitly, or not so implicitly, that subjects about women and other races were out of my jurisdiction as a creator. That if I moved too far from my own experience, and my own established identity, I would be criticized for taking even more of those wedding pies from others.
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
I don't cast somebody that I think is like my younger self.
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
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
It feels really sad, to me, to go to a dark bedroom. It's like surrendering to the night or something.
James Franco
There's no relationship that I find that's closer than a creative relationship.
James Franco
If many people love me, then I must be important.
James Franco
The selfie is the new way to look someone right in the eye and say, 'Hello, this is me.'
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
Directing, editing, and everything about filmmaking has definitely changed me as an actor.
James Franco
Sometimes rabbits, like, turn me on. I don't know why.
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
We all age. You shouldn't discount it as a subject for a film. Just because the characters are dealing with issues that you might not deal with for another 45 years doesn't mean you won't like it.
James Franco
The hair is really a way to push me even farther out of just what people know me for. I don't really know what people know me for.
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.
