"My job is what I love. I don't need an escape from it." — James Franco

School allowed me to have outlets so that some of the pressure was taken off the acting. Every role in every movie, I used to live or die by. Once I had these new outlets, I relaxed a lot more.

My favorite role ever was Alien in 'Spring Breakers'.

I acted professionally for about eight years, and I was writing all that time but never showed anybody any of it. There just came a point after those eight years when I thought, 'There's a lot I can do with acting - there are a lot of things I can express and do creatively, but there are also limitations.'

I might have to stumble a little bit more in public than others, but that's fine, I don't mind, I've developed a thick skin.
