Jesse Eisenberg

If you're afraid of everything out there, you quit going out there.

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.

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

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.

Depression, if it's an unconsciously elected experience, is a luxury.

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'm hardly the most notable person in 'Zombieland.' The other actors in it are way more famous than I am.

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.

The only way to be turned off to being famous is to be famous.

I don't follow sports that much now, but I was a Phoenix Suns fanatic in the early '90s.

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.

Lies are for adults who are sad in their lives.
