More From James Franco

In principle, i think the idea of rewarding a good effort is interesting, but movies are generally different from each other as are performances and the conditions on how the performances are given and how they're edited and so forth.

Love is real, real is love, love is feeling, feeling love, love is wanting to be loved. love is touch, touch is love, love is reaching, reaching love, love is asking to be loved. love is you, you and me, love is knowing, we can be. love is free, free is love, love is living, living love, love is needing to be loved.

I remember feeling a huge amount of anxiety and worry and pressure. at that point i was headed into acting school. that was 100 percent the only thing i thought i wanted to do. but then i got through my first year of college, and i was, like, humming and rolling around, pretending to be a lion in acting classes at nyu and visiting our classmate charlie gregg at harvard, where he was actually learning things. so i changed my mind: i decided i actually wanted a different kind of education, and that was an incredibly freeing idea.

Because it's kind of great, being an idea that everybody likes. but i could never be the idea to myself, not all the way. and agloe is a place where a paper creation became real. a dot on the map became a real place, more real than the people who created the dot could never have imagined. i thought maybe the paper cutout of a girl could start becoming real here also. and it seemed like a way to tell that paper girl who cared about popularity and clothes and everything else: 'you are going to the paper towns. and you are never coming back.
Girl Real Ideas
I've wanted to be an actor since i was eight years old and i did tv commercials when i was a kid. when i was eleven saturday night live came on and i thought, "oh god, i'd love to do that." i saw the pink panther movies and thought, "god, i'd love to have a comedy series; i'd love to have a character i'd created that becomes a series." i've now pretty-much done everything i've wanted to do since i was eight years old and it's a wonderful feeling, i've got to say.

I like confounding expectations. i can expand what it is i am able to do, and hopefully get to do more weird, interesting projects like this. there's nothing wrong with doing comedies, and i'm not against comedies, either, but i always want to do stuff that keeps me off my guard and gets me out of my comfort zone. and how the audience perceives that... it's out of my hands. and i don't get that frustrated by it, because i'm on to the next thing at that point.

Kindness Lying Hands
Father, let me be weak that i might loose my clutch on everything temporal. my life, my reputation, my possessions, lord, let me loose the tension of the grasping hand. even, father, would i lose the love of fondling. how often i have released a grasp only to retain what i prized by 'harmless' longing, the fondling touch. rather, open my hand to received the nail of calvary, as christ's was opened- that i, releasing all, might be released, unleashed from all that binds me now. he thought heaven, yea, equality with god, not a thing to be clutched at. so let me release my grasp.
