I guess it's ironic. I just did the Gucci cologne ad, and I was the cologne thief in junior high.

It's hard when you're doing a film based on a true story to really figure out what all those relationships were.

When I was younger, I thought, 'Ok, I'm supposed to do this project because it'll help my career,' but that didn't work because I ended up doing movies that I worked really hard on but I didn't really like and they didn't turn out well, so it was like I lost double. Once I just started working with people and projects I believed in, everything changed and I suddenly had a career that I loved and that I was proud of.

The new critique you're gonna start hearing about James Franco, is 'He's spreading himself too thin.'

The selfie is the new way to look someone right in the eye and say, 'Hello, this is me.'

I think it helps the writers to sell their books, if they announce my attachment, but it doesn't mean that I'm going to make the movies in the next year, or two, or three.

There's this phenomenon where people do like to announce movies that they think I'm doing that I'm not.
