I write all the time because I'm lonely. When you're acting, you're working every day all day. But then you have long amounts of time off.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there's no audience.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I felt self-conscious going out in the street prior to ever even being in a movie. That's just me.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
Who walks around proud of things they've done? That's an obnoxious quality.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I always think the second worst thing in the world is to go on stage at night, and the first worst thing in the world is sitting at home at night. For me, it's scarier to not be doing it than doing it.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I don't concern myself with thinking ahead to the finished product. I focus more specifically on what the character is experiencing. Once you relieve yourself of the very arbitrary and always punishing pressure of what an audience is expecting you to do, acting becomes a lot more fun and pure.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I see writing and acting as different parts of the same continuum. Writing is better for intense emotion. If you're very angry about something, you shouldn't present it as strongly when you're acting. But if you're really angry and writing about it, that's the best way to get it out and across.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
The only suggestions I get on my plays is to make them more of what they already are, and that's wonderful.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
Actors dread working with studios because they dictate what you do in a way that independent movies can't.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
It's a struggle for me to watch things I've been in because I'm just distracted and self-critical.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
My feeling is... when you show up to a movie set where there's, like, 50 people standing around and months of preparation gone into it, you want to be as prepared as possible, so you should make a million baguettes. That might not actually help in any explicit way, but it'll make you feel more prepared.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
You can tell when you watch a movie, usually, what the actors' experience was on the movie, because even the smallest of roles were interesting.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
It's really hard to copy another actor and be successful. In fact, that's usually the reason people are not good, because they're copying something they've seen, but, for some reason with their face and their body, it doesn't work.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
My job when I'm acting in a movie is very limited to playing a role. I'm not evaluating somebody. I'm only evaluating them insofar as they're interacting with me, but I'm not evaluating their skill set and I don't watch the movies, so I'm not aware of the way they're putting things together.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
The ideal way to approach a character is to find something in yourself that relates in some way.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I tend to be pessimistic about everything: If things seem to be going good, I'm worried that it's going to end; if things are bad, then I'm worried that it's going to be permanent. It's not a very comfortable attitude to have all the time.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I'm not on Page Six, because I don't have anything salacious happening in my life... unfortunately.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
Acting is a weird, kind of alienating job because you're in an isolated place. Even if you're working with a lot of other people, you're kind of alienated. Actors say that a lot, and I kind of find that to be true.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I have an iPad and I watch three things: 'The Daily Show,' '60 Minutes,' and 'Meet the Press.'
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I always thought Woody Harrelson is quite a persuasive guy. He's the kind of guy who can call you up in the middle of the night and tell you, 'Let's all go get a donut!' And you're thinking, 'It's the middle of the night,' but somehow you still get up and go get a donut.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I have one female fan. But she lives with me. I'm not aware of any others.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I don't attribute an actor's great success to their own individual performance when it's something as collaborative as a movie.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I don't go to movies, I don't own a television, I don't buy magazines and I try not to receive mail, so I'm not really aware of popular culture.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I find people who want to help other people to be the most interesting. I come from a family of teachers, and my friends are teachers, often times in very difficult school situations.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I don't have a Facebook page because I have little interest in hearing myself talk about myself any further than I already do in interviews or putting any more about myself online than there already is.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
People think, 'You're an actor, you can afford clothes,' but I just try to take the clothes from the movie, which makes the selecting of film projects that much more difficult, because you try to play characters that might wear something you'd want to wear.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I meet people who are in movies, and the stuff that they write is terrible, but nobody tells them that because they're famous. So I worry that my stuff might be like that, too.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I have a job that requires me to be in the public eye in the way that makes me extra careful about sharing information.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I prefer playing characters that are going through turmoil. Most movie characters are just in service to the story.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I hate watching me. I hate watching me. It just makes me feel awful. I think, 'I look stupid from that angle. I wish I didn't let them put that shirt on me.'
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
As an actor, you have to be open to doing things where you look stupid, to be experimental.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
When cellphones came out, my girlfriend refused to get one for five years, because she thought it would turn her into somebody who couldn't connect with other people - and, of course, she got a cellphone.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I know some amazing actors who are not mortified every moment of the day, so my feeling is that maybe you don't have to be a wreck to be good.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
If you look at the movies that come out, most of them are bad, so it's not as if achieving some level of success means you get offered better roles, because frankly they don't seem to exist.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I'm hardly the most notable person in 'Zombieland.' The other actors in it are way more famous than I am.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
When you are in a live-action movie, you have so many more options to express yourself. You can use your body and your gestures and facial expressions. When you are doing an animated movie, you really only have your voice.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I had great difficulty in school interacting with others, and I took refuge in the contrived setting of play acting, which is what I still do.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
I like driving; I don't drive since I live in New York. I don't have an opportunity to drive, like, ever.
Quote by -Jesse Eisenberg
When you do a play, you have the kind of nightly feeling of accomplishment. But you also have the daily dread of the doing it every night. And because you're doing the whole thing every day, it's like climbing up the mountain every single night. With a movie it's like climbing the mountain very slowly, over months of filming.
