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
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.

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
Image
The only way to be turned off to being famous is to be famous.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
I get very homesick, but otherwise it's a great privilege to get to travel for work.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
When you do a play, you have the kind of nightly feeling of accomplishment. But you also have the daily dread of the doing it every night. And because you're doing the whole thing every day, it's like climbing up the mountain every single night. With a movie it's like climbing the mountain very slowly, over months of filming.

Actors dread working with studios because they dictate what you do in a way that independent movies can't.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there's no audience.

Image
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.

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.

Image
I don't follow sports that much now, but I was a Phoenix Suns fanatic in the early '90s.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
As an actor, if I show up late somewhere or I say something that's eccentric, it's totally acceptable - not only that, it's lauded in some perverse way.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
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
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
Image
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.

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.

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

I write plays instinctively. I don't like writing movie scripts.

Everybody feels like they need a photograph because we're in a generation where, if you don't document it, it didn't occur. So you've got to stop and take a picture with everybody.
