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.

More quotes by Jesse Eisenberg
The scariest people to turn a movie over to are always the people who are drawing up the poster, because that's the first impression it's going to make. And very often it's portraying a very different film from the one the actors actually did.
Jesse Eisenberg
If I get no sleep the night before a show, I feel that performance is the best one.
Jesse Eisenberg
I feel very guilty doing magic because you're deceiving somebody.
Jesse Eisenberg
In 'Zombieland,' it was such a freewheeling plot it almost didn't matter what the characters were doing scene to scene as long as there was a consistent banter.
Jesse Eisenberg
I have one female fan. But she lives with me. I'm not aware of any others.
Jesse Eisenberg
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
I write plays instinctively. I don't like writing movie scripts.
Jesse Eisenberg
I personally don’t feel the need to be radical for its own sake, but I probably couldn’t if I tried anyway.
Jesse Eisenberg
The only suggestions I get on my plays is to make them more of what they already are, and that's wonderful.
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 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
People think, 'You're an actor, you can afford clothes,' but I just try to take the clothes from the movie, which makes the selecting of film projects that much more difficult, because you try to play characters that might wear something you'd want to wear.
Jesse Eisenberg
My job when I'm acting in a movie is very limited to playing a role. I'm not evaluating somebody. I'm only evaluating them insofar as they're interacting with me, but I'm not evaluating their skill set and I don't watch the movies, so I'm not aware of the way they're putting things together.
Jesse Eisenberg
The first rule of Zombieland: Cardio. When the zombie outbreak first hit, the first to go, for obvious reasons ... were the fatties.
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
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
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
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 understand capri pants. They seem like neither here nor there.
Jesse Eisenberg
