More quotes 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.
Jesse Eisenberg
Who walks around proud of things they've done? That's an obnoxious quality.
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
When you're acting in a movie, you never consider the reception of it. It's impossible to predict how something will be received. Even if you think it's the greatest thing in the world, other people might not like it. Or agree with it.
Jesse Eisenberg
As an actor, you have to be open to doing things where you look stupid, to be experimental.
Jesse Eisenberg
A lot of times the character's experience is not in accordance with the tone of the movie and it's not really my job to account for the tone of the movie. That's the director's job.
Jesse Eisenberg
I write plays instinctively. I don't like writing movie scripts.
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there's no audience.
Jesse Eisenberg
If I get no sleep the night before a show, I feel that performance is the best one.
Jesse Eisenberg
I think the most important thing for an actor is reading the script and trying to figure out if you can play that character well. The last thing on my mind is if the director made good movies previously. It's not my job to know if that director's last movie was any good - it's my job to know if I can play the role.
Jesse Eisenberg
It's a very strange experience to watch yourself in a movie anyway. I most frequently don't do it, but if I was going to do it, I would do it in a private way, not at a public screening at a film festival, which is just an overwhelming experience.
Jesse Eisenberg
I don't follow sports that much now, but I was a Phoenix Suns fanatic in the early '90s.
Jesse Eisenberg
I've never had tastes of people my own age. All of my friends when I was 15 were in their 40s. I'm not actually mature, just very self-conscious around people my own age because I feel like I'm supposed to act the same way they act and I don't know how.
Jesse Eisenberg
It's a really unique acting opportunity to play two roles who are not only interacting with each other, but vastly different.
Jesse Eisenberg
The only suggestions I get on my plays is to make them more of what they already are, and that's wonderful.
Jesse Eisenberg
Any time you play a character for a long period of time, regardless of how close it is to you, it infiltrates your life. It's impossible for it not to.
Jesse Eisenberg
In 'Zombieland,' it was such a freewheeling plot it almost didn't matter what the characters were doing scene to scene as long as there was a consistent banter.
Jesse Eisenberg
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
If you're acting, then there's a prescribed way to behave whereas in life there's no prescribed way. So acting feels like a comfortable way to get through the day.
Jesse Eisenberg
