Jesse Eisenberg Quotes

Acting is kind of difficult to intellectualize - it’s a far more visceral experience. It’s really hard to be able to think about and then employ these kind of esoteric notions of this person’s backstory and try to weave it in somehow. It’s just kind of impossible Picture Quote #1

I don’t watch the movies I’m in - ever. Sometimes I keep pictures, but that’s it. I used to watch my movies, because I didn’t want to be rude to the people making them, but I stopped a few years ago. I think it’s pretty common among actors. It’s like listening to your own voice, but multiplied by a million Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s a really unique acting opportunity to play two roles who are not only interacting with each other, but vastly different Picture Quote #1

I know some amazing actors who are not mortified every moment of the day, so my feeling is that maybe you don’t have to be a wreck to be good Picture Quote #1

I have one female fan. But she lives with me. I’m not aware of any others Picture Quote #1

I tend to be pessimistic about everything: If things seem to be going good, I’m worried that it’s going to end; if things are bad, then I’m worried that it’s going to be permanent. It’s not a very comfortable attitude to have all the time Picture Quote #1

I often think if you have time to sit around the house feeling bad for yourself, you have time to tutor a child. I’m guilty of that exact thing. I will spend more time sitting around feeling bad for myself than actually helping somebody Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don’t watch the movies I’ve been in. I try to stay as little aware of the final product as possible, because my job doesn’t really change Picture Quote #1

I cried every day of first grade. In class. Which meant I ended up getting comfortable emoting in a place where it wasn’t the norm Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I have a job that requires me to be in the public eye in the way that makes me extra careful about sharing information Picture Quote #1

I give credence to the worst things somebody writes about me, and if somebody writes something nice, I think they’re wrong or false or lying or joking Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The scariest people to turn a movie over to are always the people who are drawing up the poster, because that’s the first impression it’s going to make. And very often it’s portraying a very different film from the one the actors actually did Picture Quote #1

I don’t concern myself with thinking ahead to the finished product. I focus more specifically on what the character is experiencing. Once you relieve yourself of the very arbitrary and always punishing pressure of what an audience is expecting you to do, acting becomes a lot more fun and pure Picture Quote #1

When cellphones came out, my girlfriend refused to get one for five years, because she thought it would turn her into somebody who couldn’t connect with other people - and, of course, she got a cellphone Picture Quote #1

I don’t attribute an actor’s great success to their own individual performance when it’s something as collaborative as a movie Picture Quote #1

The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there’s no audience Picture Quote #1

I find it very difficult to do normal things without getting approached Picture Quote #1

All of my pleasures are guilty, but that’s just the way I’m wired Picture Quote #1

I don’t understand capri pants. They seem like neither here nor there Picture Quote #1

The more people say nice things about me, the more I feel it’s false Picture Quote #1

In acting class, you’re trained to express yourself as much as you can Picture Quote #1

I think I’m an abstinence symbol. If I take my shirt off, people will not have babies Picture Quote #1
