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?

Hill contrasts the sudden professional success of making a hit teen comedy with the ordinary, stalled-in-adolescence lifestyle he was still living—beer, pizza, movies, and a “frat guy” routine. The remark frames early fame as not automatically conferring maturity: even while working in Hollywood, he felt socially aligned with peers still in college and living casually. The pivot—“Eventually it was time to grow up”—signals a self-assessment that adulthood is a choice expressed through health, responsibility, and changed habits. The closing line generalizes the lesson: nostalgia for youth is natural, but prolonged childishness becomes self-limiting.
