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

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