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.

More quotes by 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.

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.

I don't watch like Sci-fi or things like that, I'm always more like real life is so endlessly fascinating to me.

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

You just have to be strong and don't be stupid freedom of choice is a big responsibility.

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.

'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.

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.

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.

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.
Jonah Hill
Image
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.

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
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
The comedy really comes from how badly you want these characters to succeed and with a comedy that's often hard.
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.

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.'
