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.

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
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
I purposefully isolate myself from anything that has to do with any press. I don't read any press about myself.
Jesse Eisenberg
When you're on set you don't realize the way something is going to look since you're on the other side of the camera.
Jesse Eisenberg
Working in the arts, you see people who come from terrible circumstances and who, for whatever reason, have incredible talent. But of course, with that great talent comes some guilt because, if you come from circumstances that don't encourage it, it can be really confusing.
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
I'm hardly the most notable person in 'Zombieland.' The other actors in it are way more famous than I am.
Jesse Eisenberg
The truth is people are very nice. The other truth is, it's very annoying to be constantly interrupted. I don't love myself enough to want to share myself with everybody.
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
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 think there are probably a lot of actors like me who I think probably struggle to feel comfortable in their own lives, and acting in some ways provides a safe context for them to live out emotions that they possibly repress or live out experiences that they are not afforded by virtue of circumstance.
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.
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'm no good at really anything that involves motor skills.
Jesse Eisenberg
I have one female fan. But she lives with me. I'm not aware of any others.
Jesse Eisenberg
First rule of magic? Always be the smartest guy in the room.
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 feel equal parts lucky and scared anytime I get a job.
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
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.
