More quotes by Jonah Hill
I run and do a lot of push-ups and eat healthy.
Jonah Hill
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.
Jonah Hill
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
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
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
I've never been into just really silly stuff.
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
I want to meet the man who saw a turtle and said, People will LOVE the ninja version of that.
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
The fact that the Kardashians could be more popular than a show like “Mad Men” is disgusting. It’s a super disgusting part of our culture, but I still find it funny to make a joke about it.
Jonah Hill
I have other tastes besides comedy. I love comedy. I adore it, but I love dramatic movies just as much.
Jonah Hill
Luckily with animation, they give you a lot more leeway than a live-action show.
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
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
You just have to be strong and don't be stupid freedom of choice is a big responsibility.
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 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.
Jonah Hill
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.
