underdog world comedy
It's not unexpected for me to be in a comedy film anymore; I'm no longer the underdog in that world.
people important world
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.
world feels persons
Professionally, I feel like I won the lottery and I am the luckiest person in the entire world.
eye actors world
As an actor, you tell part of a story. As a writer, you get more of telling that story. But as a director, they're seeing the world through your eyes.
people support world
Maybe if you play somebody in a certain world people sometimes misinterpret that it's a support of that world or that occupation or something.
world germany three
Germany's amongst my top three places in the world I'd like to live.
bunch kids love movies rather sure
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.'
finish god happens huge work
I think a lot of actors, sometimes what happens I think is that actors finish a movie and they go, 'Oh my god, I'm never going to work again,' even big huge actors, and so they'll take something thinking that something else will never come along.
cube grew johnson
I grew up in the '80s in L.A., so Ice Cube and Magic Johnson are my heroes.
adult became becoming bizarre early grew late man public represents shift terms yeah
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.
absurd billboard cameras fool movies pictures public taking time understand
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.
beer drinking eating eventually grow healthy kid lived movies nice time watching
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?
acting becomes becoming change character develop life man symbolizes taking
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.
almost felt might player plays poker time
It's almost like, when someone plays poker for the first time, they might be a professional poker player out of ignorance, just accidentally winning. That was how it felt in my first stand-up appearance.
