Ive 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, its important to knock them down a peg. – Jonah Hill
I think our culture has gotten so skewed. People assume that because youre 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
Once you make a movie like Superbad, when its popular and youre the lead, you get offered all kinds of things and theres a temptation to make bad movies either for the money or to maintain your relevance in pop culture. – Jonah Hill
Look, at the same time that I dont want to be a celebrity, I understand that when you make movies you put yourself out in the public eye. Id be a baby and a fool to be like, Why are there cameras taking pictures of me? when Im on a billboard for a movie. I think thats a very absurd concept. – Jonah Hill
