Jonah Hill Quotes

I don’t like to say mean things about people’s hard work Picture Quote #1

Being in TV is insane. The notes you get sometimes, I just don’t understand them Picture Quote #1

I mean, being shot in slow motion doing cocaine by Martin Scorsese is, like, maybe every actor’s dream. Nothing will compare to it. Except maybe having kids Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I started writing and acting in these little plays and then I was discovered by Dustin Hoffman. He got me my first audition for a film he was in, called ‘I Heart Huckabees.’ Picture Quote #1

Look, at the same time that I don’t want to be a celebrity, I understand that when you make movies you put yourself out in the public eye. I’d be a baby and a fool to be like, ‘Why are there cameras taking pictures of me?’ when I’m on a billboard for a movie. I think that’s a very absurd concept Picture Quote #1

I’m very, very attracted to morally ambiguous characters, not just pure bad guys or pure good guys Picture Quote #1

Once you make a movie like ‘Superbad,’ when it’s popular and you’re the lead, you get offered all kinds of things and there’s a temptation to make bad movies either for the money or to maintain your relevance in pop culture Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think this movie, ‘Moneyball,’ symbolizes becoming a man for me, and I think my character becomes a man. It’s important to me: I’m becoming a man. I’m taking my life seriously. I’m taking my acting really seriously, and it’s important for me to play adults. It’s important for me to change and develop as I get older Picture Quote #1

Yeah I grew up in the public eye. I became a man in the public eye, which is kind of a bizarre thing to come to terms with. Now I’m in my late 20s and I was in my early 20s when I became recognizable. But I think ‘Moneyball’ represents a very strong shift in my career and becoming an adult and a man Picture Quote #1

All my friends were in college when I was making ‘Superbad.’ We were drinking beer and watching movies and eating pizza. It wasn’t like I was going to nice restaurants or anything like that, and I lived like a frat guy. Eventually it was time to grow up, be healthy and be responsible. You can’t live like a kid forever, you know? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I directed my first music video for Sara Bareilles. I like writing and directing. I co-wrote 21 Jump Street’ and I’m in that. To me, they all inform the other one. I think writing makes you a better actor, acting makes you a better writer, directing makes you better at both. To me, I’m just trying to learn as much as possible Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I have other tastes besides comedy. I love comedy. I adore it, but I love dramatic movies just as much Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Comedies are doing well because I think people want to laugh and not think about everything for a little bit Picture Quote #1

As a writer, I haven’t delved into dramatic writing. As an actor, I could always, even more so than comedy, do drama Picture Quote #1

I’m really proud of ‘Moneyball.’ To me, it’s about feeling pride in a movie I made. I think when I’m an old man I’ll be able to show it to my grandkids with pride. That’s all I can really go for: making movies to please me Picture Quote #1

It’s not unexpected for me to be in a comedy film anymore; I’m no longer the underdog in that world Picture Quote #1

People are so funny. There’s no winning with commenters or anonymous people. They’d be rude that I was overweight, and now they’re rude that I’m healthy Picture Quote #1

When a movie like ‘Superbad’ or ‘Moneyball’ comes out, people make you feel like you’re the most important person on the planet. The truth is, you’re a billion percent not the most important person on the planet. It’s all insulated in your world and no one could care less. It’s just a movie Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If I ever over hear people saying I give off an ‘Ed Harris type of sexy vibe.’ I’ll be pretty psyched Picture Quote #1
