Quotes by Jesse Eisenberg

• 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.
• When playing a role, I would feel more comfortable, as you're given a prescribed way of behaving. So, both Facebook and theatre provide contrived settings that provide the illusion of social interaction.
• Society will decide after the technology is created what we will and won't accept.
• 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.
• 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 grew up in Queens and New Jersey. I started doing children's theater when I was seven to get out of school because I didn't fit in.
• I am actually going to two therapists right now. I don't know, I actually feel like therapy has just made me more uncomfortable.
• Every character I play has to be the hero of his own story, the way we're all heroes of our own lives.
• I write plays, and I have a musical that's starting to get produced now. That's what I would love to do, but it's so hard. The only reason people are reading my plays and musicals is because I'm in movies.
• And I'm sure after Facebook it will be the little cameras that we have implanted into the palms of our hands and we'll be debating whether we should get them, and then we'll all get them.
