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.'

Image
I get very homesick, but otherwise it's a great privilege to get to travel for work.

Image
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.

I grew up in a secular suburban Jewish household where we only observed the religion on very specific times like a funeral or a Bar Mitzvah.

I think the most important thing for an actor is reading the script and trying to figure out if you can play that character well. The last thing on my mind is if the director made good movies previously. It's not my job to know if that director's last movie was any good - it's my job to know if I can play the role.

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.

I've never had tastes of people my own age. All of my friends when I was 15 were in their 40s. I'm not actually mature, just very self-conscious around people my own age because I feel like I'm supposed to act the same way they act and I don't know how.

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.

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.

Poor people are gross and they 'smell bad

Who walks around proud of things they've done? That's an obnoxious quality.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
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.

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
Image
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.

Actors dread working with studios because they dictate what you do in a way that independent movies can't.
Jesse Eisenberg
Image
I prefer playing characters that are going through turmoil. Most movie characters are just in service to the story.

As an actor, you have to be open to doing things where you look stupid, to be experimental.

When you're on set you don't realize the way something is going to look since you're on the other side of the camera.

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.
