Quote

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.

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.

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.

I like when you can have a conversation with people and it's not just stock questions.

I mostly like documentaries, so I always think things that happened in real life are so astounding that why would you make a movie about something fake.

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.

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.

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.

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
Image
I've never had issues with popularity. I was always a popular guy... I've always had friends and loved ones and everything, so it wasn't like, Oh man, I gotta fill some void that was left by high school. I had a great high-school experience.

I have other tastes besides comedy. I love comedy. I adore it, but I love dramatic movies just as much.
Jonah Hill
Image
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.

I'm an actor, I'm not a comedian, I never was a comedian.
Jonah Hill

I'm a different actor than you thought I was. Don't put me in a box. I'm not just some kid running around screaming curse words.
Jonah Hill

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.

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.

I'm a lifelong Simpsons fanatic and I wanted to create my own animated show, one day.

I really care about this stuff, I care about movies, and you just have to be strong and don't be stupid freedom of choice is a big responsibility, and I'm lucky enough not to have to just take any movie to pay the rent, so there's no need to be greedy.
