Goldberg is famous for his cooperation with his old childhood buddy, actor-writer Seth Rogen. They’ve therefore collaborated on many films, beginning with all the comedy “Superbad”, which they first imagined as adolescents, up to the 2013 “Here Is the End”, that was also their directorial debut. Rogen and Goldberg collaborated to the pictures Knocked Up, Superbad, Pineapple Express, Funny People, and The Green Hornet. In a strategy to garner interest and capital, Goldberg created a pre-production preview for Jay and Seth versus the Apocalypse, which was afterwards made as This Is Actually the End, and premiered in June 2013. Goldberg and Rogen are both “hung up” fans of The Simpsons. After discovering that The Simpsons executive producer James L. Brooks was a supporter of Superbad, they determined to request the producers of the show if they could compose an episode. They were encouraged to The Simpsons writers room, where they pitched several episode thoughts. One was accepted, and they composed an outline together with assistance from some comments from your standard writers. It became the episode “Homer the Whopper”, that was the season premier of season twentyone.

[on his controversial comedy 'The Interview'] Obviously we knew North Koreans might not love every minute of it. To us, it's like a big silly movie more than anything. I don't think anybody should get bogged down thinking it's a political movie, because it's not.

[observation, 2013] All my cousins are almost old enough to start seeing my movies. I'm going to have some 'splainin' to do.

[on sidekicks and "The Green Hornet"] - We [Seth Rogen and himself] always thought the concept of the sidekick was the most offensive thing in the whole world. You're both running and getting shot at and, like, Robin's the sidekick? Why the hell is he the sidekick? He's right in front of the gun too. That's kind of what's cool about the Green Hornet. They're both badass, Kato looks a little cooler. They both kick ass, Kato kicks a little more. We had a sidekick movie planned and when it ["The Green Hornet"]came to us we just looked at each other and said, 'This is it.' ... The sidekick just seemed like the perfect application of our buddy-comedy-sidekick male love story.
