Quotes from 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.

I'm a big hip hop fan.

I learn a lot from every director that I work with. I sit on set and watch them, every one.

When I first met the world, basically, or introduced myself to people, I was in 'Superbad,' and I feel the same way I felt promoting 'Superbad' in an underdog style that I feel promoting 'Moneyball.'

I grew up in the '80s in L.A., so Ice Cube and Magic Johnson are my heroes.

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.

I always wanted to be a film-maker when I was younger, not an actor. I was an eight-year-old who dreamed of being a writer on 'The Simpsons,' which was a weird dream to have. But I started taking acting classes as a way to learn how to direct actors and I sort of fell in love with it.

I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure, and then if it turns up roses, then I'm psyched.

I mean, I find things that happened in real life to be the funniest - things that you observe instead of crazy abstract things, you know.

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?

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.

I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure, and then if it turns up roses, then I'm psyched.
