Jesse Eisenberg Quotes

I guess the more serious you play something, if the context is funny, then it will be funny and it doesn’t really require you to be necessarily, explicitly humorous, or silly 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 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

I prefer playing characters that are going through turmoil. Most movie characters are just in service to the story 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

It’s really hard to copy another actor and be successful. In fact, that’s usually the reason people are not good, because they’re copying something they’ve seen, but, for some reason with their face and their body, it doesn’t work 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 find people who want to help other people to be the most interesting. I come from a family of teachers, and my friends are teachers, often times in very difficult school situations Picture Quote #1

I grew up in an apolitical household. I never left the country. When I became an adult, I started traveling and became interested in politics, and I probably talked about things in a silly, ignorant way 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

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

I personally don’t feel the need to be radical for its own sake, but I probably couldn’t if I tried anyway Picture Quote #1

I purposefully isolate myself from anything that has to do with any press. I don’t read any press about myself Picture Quote #1

I write all the time because I’m lonely. When you’re acting, you’re working every day all day. But then you have long amounts of time off Picture Quote #1

Nothing is harder than working with an actor who doesn’t take it seriously or show up in the same way that you are 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

Who walks around proud of things they’ve done? That’s an obnoxious quality Picture Quote #1

I always think the second worst thing in the world is to go on stage at night, and the first worst thing in the world is sitting at home at night. For me, it’s scarier to not be doing it than doing it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 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

I see writing and acting as different parts of the same continuum. Writing is better for intense emotion. If you’re very angry about something, you shouldn’t present it as strongly when you’re acting. But if you’re really angry and writing about it, that’s the best way to get it out and across 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
