James Franco

"The first piece of art that I ever bought-when I could afford it-was a Warhol sketch from the period when he was just getting out of doing commercial work and more into art. It's a sketch of a young guy's face. I guess the gallery that I bought it from thought I would like it because the young guy kind of looked like James Dean."

"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."

"They say living well is the best revenge but sometimes writing well is even better."
