A director on a film really sets the tone of how people go about things, so everybody is happy to be at work and everybody does their best.

I went to NYU graduate film school and met Pam [Romanowsky], and after doing a few things with her I thought she had the right sensibility and that she could figure it [The Adderall Diaries] out.

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

Sometimes I get a little sad, and I feel like being alone. Then I talk to my cat about it, and he reminds me I’m James Franco. Then we dance.

I don't need a vacation in the traditional sense, like I would if I had a job I hated.

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.

Reviews about film acting are very... tricky, because movies are such a collaborative thing.
