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.

More quotes by Jonah Hill
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.
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
I would never remake something that was like The Godfather. Things that are truly important to me, I could never remake or reboot, or whatever.
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 don't like to say mean things about people's hard work.
Jonah Hill
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.

Jonah Hill
I grew up with baseball I played in Little League and went to games with my dad. But I, as I grew up, became more of a basketball fanatic than a baseball one.
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 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 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
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
I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure, and then if it turns up roses, then I'm psyched.
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 have other tastes besides comedy. I love comedy. I adore it, but I love dramatic movies just as much.
Jonah Hill
I'm a lifelong Simpsons fanatic and I wanted to create my own animated show, one day.
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.
