Seth Rogen quotes
- It shocks me that 90210 and Superbad are
technically considered part of the same genre. It was as much TV shows
as movies that made us feel under-represented. No part of me watched
90210 and thought, 'Yeah! that's what my life is like!'
It seemed like a different planet. I mean, I like shitty movies as much
as the next guy, I'm not a snob, but things like that had no guys like
us in it - that was the point.
- My mom's a social worker and my dad works in non-profit organizations.
But they seem very radical in American terms, embracing a form of
socialism that really doesn't even exist here. I mean, where I come
from, communism is not a terrible word.
- I guess what Judd Apatow is to me, is what Terrence Malick
is to David Gordon Green. They're just good friends.
- I remember when I got my first Adam Sandler (I) CD and it was the
funniest thing I'd ever heard in my entire life, and continues to be.
- I couldn't say enough great things about him. He's the reason I'm not a
homeless crack-head right now. - on Judd Apatow
- On writing and starring in The Green Hornet: Nerds love
complaining. You go to Ain't It Cool News, and everybody complains
about everything. They could find out Jesus Christ was making a movie
with Frank Miller, and they'd say, 'That's a terrible combination!
- When I first moved to LA, I went out to meet with agencies, and one of
them asked me what my goals were. I said "to be in a
Kevin Smith (I) movie". That goal has not changed.
- [On appearing in Knocked Up and
Pineapple Express] You know, I never had a girlfriend
before and I thought it would masculinize me. But it's actually done
the opposite. Now I know about accent walls and the whole world of
throw pillows.
