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.

More quotes by Jonah Hill
New Orleans is like the bad-kid island in 'Pinocchio.'
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
Luckily with animation, they give you a lot more leeway than a live-action show.
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
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
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
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
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 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
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 like playing characters that, you know, a couple could go see the movie and one person could love him and one person could hate him.
Jonah Hill
I want to meet the man who saw a turtle and said, People will LOVE the ninja version of that.
Jonah Hill
The comedy really comes from how badly you want these characters to succeed and with a comedy that's often hard.
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
When you do your comedy and your drama, your acting style doesn't change. If it's a comedy, the situations and the characters might be a little funnier, but you're just trying to be honest.
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 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
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
One of the greatest moments of my career was on the road promoting 'Superbad' with Michael Cera and Chris Mintz-Plasse. We were showing the movie at colleges.
Jonah Hill
Besides the fact that I make movies, there's nothing interesting about my life at all, unfortunately.
