Your question might already be answered :)
- Question: Have you ever had any fan experiences that kinda made you go, "Hmm, I should install more locks on my door"?
- Jesse: I was stalked by a locksmith.
“Because actors are on stage, emoting and opening up and being personal, people feel comfortable discussing issues that may be taboo or private […] I am interested in social issues like everybody else and this is kind of a unique way to use what I do as a job which is acting and performing to affect or at least be part of the dialogue of some sort of substantive issue.” [on the Dionysus Project]

Girlfriend, Interrupted
- Jesse: Oh no, my apartment is buzzing!
- Interviewer: You can get it if you need to.
- Jesse: I don’t know, it might be a robber. I don’t know who else it would be. It could be someone who wants to rob me.
- Interviewer: I hope not.
- Jesse: It’s happened before.
- Interviewer: Oh wow. During an interview?
- Jesse: No, this would be the first time that happened.
- Interviewer: I’m honored.
- Jesse: Oh, it’s my girlfriend.
- Interviewer: I give you permission to buzz her in.
- Jesse: She’s here to rob me of love.
- Interviewer: What is the worst thing you have ever done as a friend?
- Jesse Eisenberg: I stabbed a friend once. But in my defense, he was a few minutes late.
- Interviewer: Last question. What is the most intense situation you have ever been in?
- Jesse Eisenberg: I have been mugged and beaten on the street in NY, so yeah, probably that. I was knocked out in the street in NY, off my bike, into a pillar and went to the hospital. That was kind of intense. Sorry, not anything fun to tell.
- Interviewer: It didn’t need to be fun.
- Jesse: Oh good, good, just honest?
- Interviewer: Yeah.
- Jesse: So that was interesting. You grow as a person and shrink as an animal. Yeah, that was a bad day.
- Interviewer: Was it a long time ago or..?
- Jesse: Maybe three years. So I’m still recovering. I only have 200 more therapy sessions left before I’m cured and will be okay.

This is something that might be overlooked technically — every time Justin is on the right side of frame, Mark’s on the left side of frame, and halfway through the scene Justin moves to the left side of frame, and Mark moves to the right side of frame. This was heavily orchestrated when we were on set. This is not something that’s by accident, or something that just happened because the actors wanted to move individually. This is an orchestrated scene. Watch, so Justin moves to the left side of frame — cuts back, and Mark is over there. This is… [laughs] just so wonderful, I mean, you almost feel like how could anybody else be making movies if they’re not thinking about stuff like this? He moves back, I move back. It’s — it’s just incredible, when I was on set I had no idea of the millions of things that were happening around me that were making this movie, I just happened to overhear that this was what they were doing. I happened to overhear it. If I didn’t overhear it, I never would have known, and I’d watch the movie a hundred times and wouldn’t pick up on it because I just don’t… pick up on things like that.
