Dave Franco Quotes

I'm not following anybody's tracks, I'm making my own baby.

I think it is important to let your kids have independence and ownership. Let your kids do what they have a passion for.

I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.

... encourage the free play of our people's genius for individual initiative.

I've never been the sort of guy who wants to emulate this guy or that guy. I just try to forge my own path.

I always wanted to beat my own path.

I love to have my own story, my own path, and forge ahead because my career isn't going to be like anyone else's.

Question everything. Don't try to emulate someone else's path. Look at what you have, the tools you have, the place you're in; know the rules, and break them.

I learned a lot from other people, and was inspired by what they did, but I didn't copy anyone. I put many different blocks together to become what I am. I don't know if that would have happened if everything was handed to me on a plate.

Instead of being taught independence, energy, and enterprise, our youth today is taught to look for security.

To the extent that independent means you're willing to attempt to put your own ideas, personality, and commitment to the material on screen, then of course I hope I'm independent until the day I die.

I don't have any influences, any heroes, it's just me.

Forget about trying to compete with someone else. Create your own pathway. Create your own new vision.

By the age of 9 or 10, I knew that I had to cut my own cloth and make my own way.

Follow your own star!

There was no one near to confuse me, so I was forced to become original.

I'm my own person, and am trying to carve out a career on my own.

Work out of your work. Don't work out of anybody else's work.

I've always wanted to call the shots because I would rather fail than not have a chance to figure it out on my own.

One actor in my life is enough, and that's me. With actors, it's too easy to go into this world of complaining. Someone will always be better, richer, more loved, do more work. Those dynamics don't interest me. The friends I hang out with, we create our own work rather than complain about acting.

I'm the type of person that doesn't like to wait for people to do things for me, and I never want to feel stuck. Why sit around and be like, 'I wish my label would book me some studio time,' if I can just buy my own studio equipment and figure out how to run Pro Tools and record it myself?

I plan on doing a lot more work on my own, and discovering and doing more.

I was lucky I went to school in London because the tutors could see what to do. I knew I wanted to do something different. Why would I want to do what other people were already doing, because they would always do it better? I always wanted to work around the body. So throughout my college years, my work was quite free.

I quickly realized I had to have my own style and strategy and find my own way.

I always feel like I want to do my career my own way. I never follow anybody's path, what they've done.
