As an actor, you try to bring as much of yourself to a part to try and create a feeling of authenticity and emotional truth and resonance.

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.

I have one female fan. But she lives with me. I'm not aware of any others.

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.

I don't watch the movies I'm in - ever. Sometimes I keep pictures, but that's it. I used to watch my movies, because I didn't want to be rude to the people making them, but I stopped a few years ago. I think it's pretty common among actors. It's like listening to your own voice, but multiplied by a million.

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.

I'm hardly the most notable person in 'Zombieland.' The other actors in it are way more famous than I am.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
I prefer playing characters that are going through turmoil. Most movie characters are just in service to the story.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
I purposefully isolate myself from anything that has to do with any press. I don't read any press about myself.

Everyone's a geek in some way or other. Everyone's an outsider.

First rule of magic? Always be the smartest guy in the room.

When you take on a role, even if the character is somebody that you are dissimilar to, you have to identify with the role and look for an emotional connection even if there is not a biographical one.

Im not on Page Six, because I dont have anything salacious happening in my life unfortunately.

I can't watch myself in interviews. I feel like I look like a wreck. My mom is always calling me and going, 'Stop fidgeting,' and it's like, 'You have no idea what it's like, Mom.'

I don't attribute an actor's great success to their own individual performance when it's something as collaborative as a movie.

I have a job that requires me to be in the public eye in the way that makes me extra careful about sharing information.
