A man begins cutting his wisdom teeth the first time he bites off more than he can chew.
When I was snowed under with the work of an idol, I didn't have time to think.
My biggest fear is overreaching. I have been in situations where I felt swamped, and it's turned out really well; and I've had other situations where I've had to walk off the film after five minutes because I realized I was in way over my head.
Whoever prematurely begins a work that is above his strength receives nothing, but only brings harm upon himself.
I like to get myself in over my head.
I think we might be going a bridge too far.
Sir Frederick “Boy” Browning
You gotta be really careful what you bite off. Don't bite off more than you can chew. It's a dangerous world.
There were times, I'm sure you knew, when I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out.
The new critique you're gonna start hearing about James Franco, is 'He's spreading himself too thin.'
I can't stop biting off more than I can chew.
I've got my finger in a lot of pies.
I want to do everything. That's my problem.
I can be wildly enthusiastic and want to try to do everything that I feel would be useful and educational and beneficial - but I've crashed and burned a few times.
I get over-excited by every opportunity that comes my way. I end up doing too much.
