When I started writing after my career as an actor, I knew that that other life in the film industry would be pulled into my writing life and that people would see me not as an author but as an actor starting to write.

I don't like sleeping in a bed.

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.

Sometimes I think to myself, what should James Franco say next? And then it comes to me. Boobs.

Everyone pretends to be normal and be your best friend, but underneath, everyone is living some other life you don't know about, and if only we had a camera on us at all times, we could go and watch each other's tapes and find out what each of us was really like.

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.

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.
