Jesse Eisenberg

I am a performer and I have my own amount of extroversion, but like, you know, I kind of like just sit in awe and envy of people who can like walk into a room and immediately, you know, light it up. And so I was trying to kind of explore what's behind somebody like that because I envy them, but I also know there's something maybe happening there that I wouldn't want. I wouldn't want to trade.

Yeah, I mean, it's probably, you know, God, I don't know what my actual official diagnosis is of my insurance forms. But yeah, it's like, you know, I have OCD, depression, anxiety, that kind of stuff. And it changes and is like emphasized based on what's happening in my life, you know. But as I talk about in the movie, I feel my pain is unexceptional.

Yeah, I guess so. But, you know, one of the other things about like being in the arts is learning to be flexible and learning to feel like Kieran Culkin in this movie didn't want to stand on any marks, which means, you know, when you're setting up a shot in a movie, the actor has to stand on their mark to deliver their lines. This is like kind of just standard practice.

Kieran would never stand on a mark because he didn't know what he was going to do or where he was going to walk or what he was going to be performing like. And so for me, if I had some kind of strict compulsion to wanting the actors to all do my thing, the movie wouldn't be good because it would be stifling our leading character, Kieran. And so... Learning to be flexible is helpful.

And in the arts, that's really kind of paramount, you know, because you want the most creative, interesting idea to win. So when I'm writing the script, I guess you could call it some kind of compulsion to make sure everything is exactly what I want it to be.

But I've learned, this is my second movie as director, but I've also written and performed in several plays, that being flexible or being open to being flexible at least is probably the best way to get the best version of something.

Yeah, like the first few days, yeah, he told me, like, that's not what I want to do. I don't want to get notes from you. I don't want to rehearse or talk about the scenes. I was just panicked that he wasn't going to know his lines because he speaks so quickly in the movie and it has to go quick. Like the movie wouldn't work if he's kind of stumbly with his dialogue.
