He never squared up. He never squared up”

It was two miles away and went 400 feet off Mulholland, and somehow I made it home without a scratch”

I remember she just went livid when I said that”

They liked the show they’re on and they like each other... it was so weird”

You get to say it if you’re a truck driver or a school teacher. We have free speech" "Why would you try to shame and silence someone from speaking their truth?"

Jason Segel says being rich, famous and on a hit show still didn’t make him feel valuable, then Jonah Hill told him to stop taking jobs for a paycheck “At 33 years old, making a movie about being afraid of girls was dishonest. I’m 6’4”, I have a bunch of money, I’m famous, and I’m like, ‘I hope it works out with this girl’” “On paper, I had won. I had a giant TV show and movies that were doing really well, but I really didn’t feel like I was of value” “Jonah Hill said, ‘You can’t take another job ever for a paycheck. You get to say that once, but we’ve gotten our paychecks now. Why are we doing this?’”
