Quote

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.'

Image
I think morality is so individual and personal, and people draw their own lines of what that means for them.
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.

Image
21 Jump Street is great. I just made that, and produced it and was a writer on it. It's starring myself and Channing Tatum, and maybe some surprise guests.
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
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
Image
Besides the fact that I make movies, there's nothing interesting about my life at all, unfortunately.

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.

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.

'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
Image
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 don't watch like Sci-fi or things like that, I'm always more like real life is so endlessly fascinating to me.
Jonah Hill
Image
I run and do a lot of push-ups and eat healthy.
Jonah Hill
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
I believe in collaboration. I think that is the most entertaining and effective way to write for me, personally.
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
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
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.
Jonah Hill
Image
I always say I want to eventually shift my career to directing and writing.
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
I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure, and then if it turns up roses, then I'm psyched.
