I was an easygoing guy, and school was pretty much people trying to challenge me to a fight, y'know, saying, 'Rambo! Rocky!'

I don't even correct people when they mispronounce my name now.

I nicknamed everyone in the gym. It was easier than remembering their names.

I think my parents were high when they named me.

I couldn't say my own name when I was 12.

I never heard nobody in my audience call me any kind of names.

My name is James Edward Franco. Ted is a nickname for Edward. That's what my parents called me. I also got 'Teddy Ruxpin' a lot. It just got to a point where I got sick of it, so when a teacher called out 'James Franco' my junior year of high school, I didn't correct her.

Every single substitute teacher growing up could not pronounce my name, so whenever someone pauses, I'm like, 'Oh, that's me.'

Kids used to tease me unmercifully about that name.

Man, I have so many names that everybody calls me something different. Some people call me Drew, some people call me Mayer, some people call me Haircut.
