One of the greatest moments of my career was on the road promoting 'Superbad' with Michael Cera and Chris Mintz-Plasse. We were showing the movie at colleges.

I've never been into just really silly stuff.
Jonah Hill
Image
I think our culture has gotten so skewed. People assume that because you're an actor you want to write a book to exploit your celebrity, but my celebrity is only a byproduct of me making movies. I have no intention of being a celebrity.

Image
In the comedies I've been lucky enough to be a part of a world like Judd Apatow's, where I believe comedy comes from real people.
Jonah Hill
Image
Comedies are doing well because I think people want to laugh and not think about everything for a little bit.
Jonah Hill
Image
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
Image
You really feel an obligation to someone when they're trusting you to do something, and you promise that you'll come through for them.
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
Image
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.

I'm a lifelong Simpsons fanatic and I wanted to create my own animated show, one day.
Jonah Hill
Image
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
Image
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
Image
When I first met the world, basically, or introduced myself to people, I was in 'Superbad,' and I feel the same way I felt promoting 'Superbad' in an underdog style that I feel promoting 'Moneyball.'
Jonah Hill
Image
I am a filmmaker fanatic. I have never been star-struck by an actor once in my entire life.
Jonah Hill
Image
I love my parents. But I'm almost 28 and it's not fun to be asked, 'What are you doing today? What do you want for dinner? When are you going to be home?' It just makes you feel like a kid. It's this juxtaposition of feeling annoyed and really lucky to have people who love you so much.

I'm an actor, I'm not a comedian, I never was a comedian.
Jonah Hill
Image
When I look at interviews from when I was that age, I come off different than how I am because I've matured - and I've matured, become a man in front of the public eye.
Jonah Hill
Image
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
Image
Maybe if you play somebody in a certain world people sometimes misinterpret that it's a support of that world or that occupation or something.

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.

It wasn't like, 'I'ma lose weight and start doing dramas.' I wanted to be healthier, and that was the impetus for wanting to lose weight - it's just about being healthy and feeling good.
