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.

More quotes by 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
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
First rule of magic? Always be the smartest guy in the room.
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
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
As an actor, you try to bring as much of yourself to a part to try and create a feeling of authenticity and emotional truth and resonance.
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 I'm an abstinence symbol. If I take my shirt off, people will not have babies.
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
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
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 don't understand capri pants. They seem like neither here nor there.
Jesse Eisenberg
Devils don't come from hell beneath us, they come from the sky.
Jesse Eisenberg
I get very homesick, but otherwise it's a great privilege to get to travel for work.
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 don't go to movies, I don't own a television, I don't buy magazines and I try not to receive mail, so I'm not really aware of popular culture.
Jesse Eisenberg
I write plays instinctively. I don't like writing movie scripts.
Jesse Eisenberg
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.
Jesse Eisenberg
The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there's no audience.
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
