<p>James Franco has said that if he hadn&#8217;t found other career outlets apart from acting then he would have given up on his big screen career.</p>
<p>The Oscar-nominated Hollywood star described how just making mainstream films was like the &#8220;death&#8221; of his ability to express himself and made him want to pack in acting for good.</p>
<p>In the past year, James has starred in the movie 127 Hours and has taken on a recurring role on the daytime soap opera General Hospital as a demented artist. </p>
<p>He&#8217;s also signed up to co-host the Oscars with Anne Hathaway while taking classes at Yale and the Rhode Island School of Design.</p>
<p>His most recent endeavour is a multimedia project called Three&#8217;s Company: The Drama in which he combines video and art to update the former sitcom starring John Ritter, on display at the Sundance Film Festival.</p>
<p>When asked why he chose not to play it safe with his career, he said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t see anything wrong in doing one thing and doing it well. That&#8217;s great. But when I was only an actor there was a ceiling on what I wanted to be able to express.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t want to act any more. It was death doing the things I was supposed to be doing. I couldn&#8217;t make those movies any more &#8230; I mean maybe nobody believes me but I had the conversation with my manager like, &#8216;if this is what it&#8217;s gonna be, I can&#8217;t do this any more.&#8217; </p>
<p>&#8220;So, it wasn&#8217;t like the answer was &#8216;Hey! Go do a bunch of crazy stuff!&#8217; I had to figure out how to change what I was doing. I had to figure out that I had to believe in my own taste.&#8221;</p>
