More quotes by Jonah Hill
I'm an actor, I'm not a comedian, I never was a comedian.
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 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
Maybe if you play somebody in a certain world people sometimes misinterpret that it's a support of that world or that occupation or something.
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
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
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.
Jonah Hill
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
Writing is as big a part of my career as acting is, financially and time wise. So, yeah, I love it. That's all I wanted to do since I was young was be a writer. So that and acting are the two most important aspects of my career.
Jonah Hill
I'm a lifelong Simpsons fanatic and I wanted to create my own animated show, one day.
Jonah Hill
I've never been into just really silly stuff.
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
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
The great thing about 'Allen Gregory' is that we try to make it really questionable that the things he says have happened, have really happened. We like that ambiguity.
Jonah Hill
I am a filmmaker fanatic. I have never been star-struck by an actor once in my entire life.
Jonah Hill
New Orleans is like the bad-kid island in 'Pinocchio.'
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
I run and do a lot of push-ups and eat healthy.
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 think morality is so individual and personal, and people draw their own lines of what that means for them.
Jonah Hill
