Absurd Quote by Jonah Hill
“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.”

![“If you want to be in this business [acting], do it for the right reasons. Don't be in it because you want to be a celebrity. Be in it because you really love the work, and the work keeps you up at night, and it keeps you motivated, and it wakes you up early in the morning because you have ideas.” quote by Rockmond Dunbar](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4cd/rockmond-dunbar-43361_acting_if-you-want-to-be-in-this-business-actin_620112.jpg)
