About this Quote

This quote by Jesse Eisenberg speaks with the idea that acting can be a type of escapism. Acting offers a sense of structure and order that life may not constantly offer. It can be comforting to have a set of rules to follow and a script to adhere to. Acting can be a way to take a break from the unpredictability of life and to feel in control. It can be a method to express oneself without the fear of judgement or criticism. Performing can be a way to check out various emotions and experiences without the risk of real-life consequences. It can be a way to check out various aspects of one's character and to get a much better understanding of oneself. Ultimately, acting can be a way to discover comfort and solace in a chaotic world.
