More quotes by Jesse Eisenberg
In acting class, you're trained to express yourself as much as you can.
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
I grew up in a secular suburban Jewish household where we only observed the religion on very specific times like a funeral or a Bar Mitzvah.
Jesse Eisenberg
Poor people are gross and they 'smell bad
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
It's a struggle for me to watch things I've been in because I'm just distracted and self-critical.
Jesse Eisenberg
As an actor, you have to be open to doing things where you look stupid, to be experimental.
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
Where I feel something that I had written was misinterpreted in a way that made people feel bad, that is absolutely horrifying to me. I feel so embarrassed and I feel ashamed that I should make people feel bad.
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
I think I prioritize other people's opinions of me very highly, which is not necessarily a good thing - it's a thing that causes a lot of anxiety.
Jesse Eisenberg
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
The only way to be turned off to being famous is to be famous.
Jesse Eisenberg
The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there's no audience.
Jesse Eisenberg
Mother Teresa was asked what was the meaning of life, and she said to help other people, and I thought, 'What a strange thing to say' - but maybe it's the right thing to say.
Jesse Eisenberg
I have one female fan. But she lives with me. I'm not aware of any others.
Jesse Eisenberg
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
Who walks around proud of things they've done? That's an obnoxious quality.
Jesse Eisenberg
Acting is a weird profession. It's very disquieting, and at the time it just made me so confused. It's only when you step away from a movie for several weeks or months that you start to put things in perspective.
