Boys and girls were both created with given attributes, and given the freedom to act and react. But Adam was allowed to name all the animals, and Eve was made from Adam's rib, as a companion for him.

James FrancoVillains can often be one note and I would say in that case, itโs not fun to play the villain. Itโs fun to play the villain if he a) has dimension and b) the villain gets to do all the things in the movie that in life he would get punished for.

James FrancoI put out a lot of different kinds of material, and maybe people read that as egotistical. Or maybe, since a lot of it does involve some aspect of me, they find it self-aggrandizing. But thereโs a long tradition of artists using themselves. Look, I know Iโm not perfect. And, who knows, maybe a part of it has to do with self-obsession. But itโs also about using this weird thing that is a public persona as raw material for creative projects.
