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

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 don't cast somebody that I think is like my younger self.

For whatever reason, I have an emotional life that wants to come out.

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.

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.

I actually don't smoke weed, but I've played a lot of stoners - especially with Seth Rogen.
