London:
Hollywood heartthrob James Franco wants to be a versatile actor as he does not want to deprive himself of any 'experience'.
With films like 'Spiderman','Milk', 'Eat, Pray, Love' and '127 Hours' to his credit the actor does not want to restrict himself to a specific genre of a movie or TV show, Contactmusic reported.
"It seems like of course you should work this way, but I didn't understand this: don't act in any movie you wouldn't ordinarily go to see on your own if you weren't in it," said Franco.
"Now I don't necessarily always follow that advice. Sometimes there's an actor I want to work with, or a director I want to work with. On 'Eat Pray Love' I got to work with Julia Roberts for a week. Why not have that experience?"
"The press are going to come up with an image of you no matter what, so if projects like 'General Hospital' are a way to go out there and shake that up a little bit I don't see the harm," said the 32-year-old actor.
However, the actor quips that he had a 'confused' childhood and spent a lot of time thinking what to do with his life.
"I think a lot of the trouble I got into was because I was running. I didn't know how to focus my energy, because I was scared of failure, whatever that is," he added.
