More quotes by Jonah Hill
I am a filmmaker fanatic. I have never been star-struck by an actor once in my entire life.
Jonah Hill
I like when you can have a conversation with people and it's not just stock questions.
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
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'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
There are a lot of things going into making a movie. So many things can go wrong. So many people that need to show up and bring their A game. If one thing is out of place, the whole movie can fall apart.
Jonah Hill
It's just hard when you're someone who's like hurting a lot of people or deceiving people who trust you, not to bring some of that home with you or inside of you.
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
I'm a lifelong Simpsons fanatic and I wanted to create my own animated show, one day.
Jonah Hill
Besides the fact that I make movies, there's nothing interesting about my life at all, unfortunately.
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
I play a lot of games on my iPhone. There is a game called Rat on a Scooter that I will promote as much as possible because it has brought me so much joy.
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
When you create something you're free to explore it however you want to do it.
Jonah Hill
I want to meet the man who saw a turtle and said, People will LOVE the ninja version of that.
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
Luckily with animation, they give you a lot more leeway than a live-action show.
Jonah Hill
I'm an actor, I'm not a comedian, I never was a comedian.
Jonah Hill
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.
Jonah Hill
As an actor, you tell part of a story. As a writer, you get more of telling that story. But as a director, they're seeing the world through your eyes.
