James Franco

I was kind of scared of failing at acting.

When I was a child, I wanted to be an actor, but I had really bad buckteeth. I didn't want to get braces, but my mom said I couldn't be an actor if I didn't get the braces. So, I got the braces.

If I'm working on a film, I'll do sit-ups for before I shoot. Like, 100 in the morning or something.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

The acclaim I'm getting for 'The Wrestler' means everything in the world to me. But it also means I can't take my foot off the gas pedal.
