Favorite Quotes From Jonah Hill
It’s better to shock people than to tell them what you can do. It’s not unusual for me to appear on a comedy movie; I’m no longer the underdog. You shouldn’t be shocked that I’ve done so many comedy films.
When I was filming ‘Superbad’, all my college friends were there. We were drinking beer, watched movies, and ate pizza and other snacks. It wasn’t like it was nice to eat at fancy restaurants. I lived like a frat boy. I had to learn to be responsible and healthy. You know that you can’t live as a child forever.
