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.

More quotes by Jesse Eisenberg
I don't follow sports that much now, but I was a Phoenix Suns fanatic in the early '90s.
Jesse Eisenberg
The only way to be turned off to being famous is to be famous.
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
I have a job that requires me to be in the public eye in the way that makes me extra careful about sharing information.
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
Actors dread working with studios because they dictate what you do in a way that independent movies can't.
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
I can't watch myself in interviews. I feel like I look like a wreck. My mom is always calling me and going, 'Stop fidgeting,' and it's like, 'You have no idea what it's like, Mom.'
Jesse Eisenberg
I had great difficulty in school interacting with others, and I took refuge in the contrived setting of play acting, which is what I still do.
Jesse Eisenberg
I'm kind of shocked any time somebody hires me and even more shocked any time somebody hires me to play a character like Lex Luthor, which I only knew from the public consciousness of him being a bald, brooding villain who is older than me.
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
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
Look, I don't have a Facebook page because I have little interest in hearing myself talk about myself any further than I already do in interviews or putting any more about myself online than there already is. But if I wasn't in this position, I'm sure I would use it every day.
Jesse Eisenberg
It's a really unique acting opportunity to play two roles who are not only interacting with each other, but vastly different.
Jesse Eisenberg
I have one female fan. But she lives with me. I'm not aware of any others.
Jesse Eisenberg
As an actor, you have to be open to doing things where you look stupid, to be experimental.
Jesse Eisenberg
I think it's my nature to - every time I hear about an award or a nomination, it makes me realize how much I must've been losing before, because I was not aware that every major city had these critics' awards.
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 tend to prefer the smaller movies because they shoot more efficiently and so you're are able to maintain that momentum of the character a little more easily.
Jesse Eisenberg
First rule of magic? Always be the smartest guy in the room.
