Depression, if it's an unconsciously elected experience, is a luxury.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
I grew up in an apolitical household. I never left the country. When I became an adult, I started traveling and became interested in politics, and I probably talked about things in a silly, ignorant way.

The ideal way to approach a character is to find something in yourself that relates in some way.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
I tend to prefer the smaller movies because they shoot more efficiently and so you're are able to maintain that momentum of the character a little more easily.

The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there's no audience.

In those moments where you're not quite sure if the undead are really dead, dead, don't get all stingy with your bullets. I mean, one more clean shot to the head, and this lady could have avoided becoming a human Happy Meal. Woulda... coulda... shoulda.

When you're on set you don't realize the way something is going to look since you're on the other side of the camera.

I prefer playing characters that are going through turmoil. Most movie characters are just in service to the story.

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.

I don't follow sports that much now, but I was a Phoenix Suns fanatic in the early '90s.

Society will decide after the technology is created what we will and won't accept.

Image
The only way to be turned off to being famous is to be famous.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
It's a struggle for me to watch things I've been in because I'm just distracted and self-critical.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
The joy of acting for me is to be able to experience emotions in a safe environment. You can't scream and cry in the street because everybody will look. If you do it on a movie set, you get applauded.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
I don't attribute an actor's great success to their own individual performance when it's something as collaborative as a movie.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
I feel things can always be funny, but that's probably because I have some kind of leftover childhood need to make people laugh. For somebody like me, that's the thing you excel at.

Image
I don't understand capri pants. They seem like neither here nor there.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
I feel equal parts lucky and scared anytime I get a job.

There’s something strange about theater. My characters consistently demonize elitism, but of course it’s taking place in a theater where only so many people can see it. I’ve been in silly popcorn movies - the kind of thing that as an actor you might feel embarrassed about - but those movies reach many more people.
