Acting is a weird, kind of alienating job because you're in an isolated place. Even if you're working with a lot of other people, you're kind of alienated. Actors say that a lot, and I kind of find that to be true. (Jesse Eisenberg)
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.

Jesse Eisenberg
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. View quote
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. View quote
Jesse Eisenberg
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. View quote
Jesse Eisenberg
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. View quote
Jesse Eisenberg
My father and I used to watch movies all the time. That was our bonding time, so thats when I kind of fell in love with acting. View quote
Jessica Barth
The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you. View quote
Jessica Brown Findlay
I've done a lot of acting. I'm not saying I'm the greatest, but I'd love to act, I'd love to sing. View quote
Jessica Hahn
My parents made me finish high school before I started acting, and I did, like, two weeks of fine arts college before I was like, 'This sucks. I'm going!' I got a few small jobs, and then I booked a big-for-Canada feature. View quote
Jessica Pare
My first acting experience was a non-speaking role as a robot. My costume was a cardboard box covered in tinfoil, but I was so shy I refused to go on stage. (Jessica Raine)
Whether it's repro rights, violence against women, or just plain old vanilla sexism, most issues affecting women have one thing in common - they exist to keep women 'in their place.' To make sure that we're acting 'appropriately,' whatever that means. View quote
Jessica Valenti
My attitude goes back to my childhood. I used to audition for theatrical roles, and you can't stand out in a room full of ambitious eight-year-old girls by acting the wallflower. I realised then that I couldn't do things half-heartedly. View quote
Jessie J
Acting is something I love to do. I love to perform and I love the art, the craft of it. View quote
Jill Bennett
To be honest I never thought the acting thing would get off the ground. View quote
Jill Hennessy
The highs, the lows, the peaks, the valleys, whatever, it's all going to go into the art, whether I'm singing or acting or whatever. View quote
Jill Scott
All I have to do is be me on stage. But acting, I have to be someone else, and walk how they would walk and blink how they would blink. I used to talk about it bad like, 'Aw man, that person made $10 million a movie?' But now I understand why they do. I get it now. View quote
Jill Scott
My personal advice is to go to school first and get a liberal arts education, and then if you want to pursue acting, go to graduate school. View quote
Jillian Bach
It's fatal to talk about acting. It sounds faintly ridiculous if you start analysing it. View quote
Jim Broadbent
Further, by acting decisively in Iraq, the United States has sent very strong signals to other nations that have been or could be terrorist sympathizers. View quote
Jim Gerlach
I think in any form of acting, you're always well served if you've done theater. (Jim Parsons)
When I first started out in Houston, it was theater or bust. And I loved it. I still love it. And then I went to undergraduate and graduate school for acting. View quote
Jim Parsons
I moved to Manchester to join a band and ended up getting into acting, and I moved back to London to become an actor and ended up joining a band. View quote
Jim Sturgess
I was quite badly behaved at school - I remember cutting class - and acting was a way of channelling energy. View quote
Jim Sturgess
British actors come at acting from a slightly different angle. Because a lot of the films are cast out there, they are so used to the angle from which the Americans, and certainly the young guys from L.A., are coming at it, that I think it's interesting for them to find these English actors who maybe approach acting from a different place.
