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.

More quotes by 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
I feel very guilty doing magic because you're deceiving somebody.
Jesse Eisenberg
[As an actor] you're looking to crawl into an anonymous fictional person's skin, but then you have the ironic obligation to promoting the movie in such a public way that it almost undermines the initial intention of going under the radar.
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
I grew up in Queens and New Jersey. I started doing children's theater when I was seven to get out of school because I didn't fit in.
Jesse Eisenberg
If you went to Harvard Medical School, chances are you'll be a doctor at some place. There's a career trajectory. Acting, there's nothing. It's constantly trying to procure jobs - it's very disconcerting.
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
The only way to be turned off to being famous is to be famous.
Jesse Eisenberg
Actors dread working with studios because they dictate what you do in a way that independent movies can't.
Jesse Eisenberg
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
I feel like when I was 13 and I had to go to bar mitzvahs every weekend. This is the same feeling. You have to put on a suit every weekend to go meet with a bunch of Jews.
Jesse Eisenberg
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
The frustrating part of being a movie actor is waiting in your trailer to do two takes of a scene you've prepared for two months.
Jesse Eisenberg
I don't follow sports that much now, but I was a Phoenix Suns fanatic in the early '90s.
Jesse Eisenberg
As an actor, you have to be open to doing things where you look stupid, to be experimental.
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.
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
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
I feel equal parts lucky and scared anytime I get a job.
Jesse Eisenberg
I'm kind of shocked any time somebody hires me and even more shocked any time somebody hires me to play a character like Lex Luthor, which I only knew from the public consciousness of him being a bald, brooding villain who is older than me.
