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.

More quotes by James Franco
I personally just love movies about the creative process.
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
I have high aspirations. I want to be an architect.
James Franco
Directing, editing, and everything about filmmaking has definitely changed me as an actor.
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
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
It's hard when you're doing a film based on a true story to really figure out what all those relationships were.
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
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
You say I sucked at the Oscars. I was a genius at the Oscars. That was experimental tuxedo sleep art.
James Franco
The wind came in languid gusts like whispered reminders.
James Franco
I loved the book [The Adderall Diaries] I optioned it, I think some years ago. But there's a lot of different threads in the book. It starts off as one thing, where he's trying to cover this murder trial, and then his own life starts to impinge on that, so it becomes something else. I found that fascinating.
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
Sometimes it is painful to be oneself at other times it seems impossible to escape oneself.
James Franco
As an actor in the classroom, you're revealing so much, and teachers are, you know, they're just critiquing like a painting or a piece of work it's like, it's you, and it's your emotions that they're working with.
James Franco
Showing the addiction and unusual sexual practices are ways of just outlining a much bigger character trait.
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
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
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 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
