3 December 2020 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.
3 December 2020 Jonah Hill I’ve never had issues with popularity. I was always a popular guy… I’ve always had friends and loved ones and everything, so it wasn’t like, ‘Oh man, I gotta fill some void that was left by high school.’ I had a great high-school experience.
3 December 2020 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.
3 December 2020 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.

3 December 2020 Jonah Hill I’m sure a bunch of 15-year-old kids would way rather I do ‘Superbad 2’ than ‘Moneyball.’ But I would love to do movies like ‘Superbad’ and movies like ‘Moneyball.’
3 December 2020 Jonah Hill 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.
3 December 2020 Jonah Hill I love it, man I’m 23 years old and I’m lucky enough to write movies as a job! I just feel really blessed and can’t believe it’s happening.
