More quotes by Jonah Hill
It's always better to shock people and change people's expectations than to give them exactly what they think you can do.
Jonah Hill
I think it's kind of strange when people talk about how hyped-up the movie is. It almost sets you up for a bigger fall.
Jonah Hill
I run and do a lot of push-ups and eat healthy.
Jonah Hill
Besides the fact that I make movies, there's nothing interesting about my life at all, unfortunately.
Jonah Hill
My heroes are Bill Murray and Dustin Hoffman. Those are the two actors that both do comedies and dramas, seamlessly. Also John C. Reilly and Philip Seymour Hoffman. They're all just great actors, neither comedic nor dramatic. They're just great actors.
Jonah Hill
All this stuff is so mind-blowing to me that I get to do in my life. Throwing the first pitch out at the White Sox game on a random Wednesday? Like who am I? How did I get this life? I'm glad I'm not jaded, and little kids are the least jaded people in the entire world, so it's fun to be around people that still find wonder in how cool things are.
Jonah Hill
When you do your comedy and your drama, your acting style doesn't change. If it's a comedy, the situations and the characters might be a little funnier, but you're just trying to be honest.
Jonah Hill
I mostly make R-rated movies. To make a movie that one day if I have kids or my nephews want t watch, I can show them without being put in prison. It would be really nice.
Jonah Hill
It's always better to shock people and change people's expectations than to give them exactly what they think you can do. It's not unexpected for me to be in a comedy film anymore I'm no longer the underdog in that world. Not that I'm great or good at it or anything, it's just that I've done a bunch of them, so you're not shocked.
Jonah Hill
I want to meet the man who saw a turtle and said, People will LOVE the ninja version of that.
Jonah Hill
When someone who is known as a comedic actor goes to drama, it often doesn't work out, because they really just chose wrong, I think - or maybe they're just not good actors, I don't know.
Jonah Hill
I've learned through experience of playing different characters, some of whom were jerks, that when you play a character who is pretentious or obnoxious, in any way, it's important to knock them down a peg.
Jonah Hill
I'm a lifelong Simpsons fanatic and I wanted to create my own animated show, one day.
Jonah Hill
'Allen Gregory' came about because we wanted an animated show and we were just tossing around some ideas about me playing a 7-year-old. We thought that would be cool, because we couldn't do that in real life.
Jonah Hill
I am a filmmaker fanatic. I have never been star-struck by an actor once in my entire life.
Jonah Hill
The great thing about 'Allen Gregory' is that we try to make it really questionable that the things he says have happened, have really happened. We like that ambiguity.
Jonah Hill
I mean, I find things that happened in real life to be the funniest - things that you observe instead of crazy abstract things, you know.
Jonah Hill
The comedy really comes from how badly you want these characters to succeed and with a comedy that's often hard.
Jonah Hill
Be open to other people's ideas. Don't get arrogant about your ideas. Shoot a lot of options so you're not stuck with just one version of something.
Jonah Hill
I'm a big hip hop fan.
