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
I'm hardly the most notable person in 'Zombieland.' The other actors in it are way more famous than I am.
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
Im not on Page Six, because I dont have anything salacious happening in my life unfortunately.
Jesse Eisenberg
I'm no good at really anything that involves motor skills.
Jesse Eisenberg
When you are in a live-action movie, you have so many more options to express yourself. You can use your body and your gestures and facial expressions. When you are doing an animated movie, you really only have your voice.
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'm not into music - the only music I like is musical theater, but I have every Ween album.
Jesse Eisenberg
The joy of acting for me is to be able to experience emotions in a safe environment. You can't scream and cry in the street because everybody will look. If you do it on a movie set, you get applauded.
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
When you're acting in a movie, you never consider the reception of it. It's impossible to predict how something will be received. Even if you think it's the greatest thing in the world, other people might not like it. Or agree with it.
Jesse Eisenberg
Nothing is harder than working with an actor who doesn't take it seriously or show up in the same way that you are.
Jesse Eisenberg
If I get no sleep the night before a show, I feel that performance is the best one.
Jesse Eisenberg
I get very homesick, but otherwise it's a great privilege to get to travel for work.
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 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
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
I grew up in Queens and New Jersey. I started doing children's theater when I was seven to get out of school because I didn't fit in.
Jesse Eisenberg
The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there's no audience.
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
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
