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 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?’”
