INTERVIEWER: Can you remember the first song you slow-danced to?
JESSE: No, but I distinctly remember what was playing when I saw a nude woman for the first time. It was Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle." I was 17, and my friends and I went to a strip club in California. So now when I hear that song, I picture this woman waving at me through her legs. It's not a moment to be proud of.

INTERVIEWER: How active are you on social media? I saw you have a Facebook page …
JESSE: I don’t have a Facebook page.
INTERVIEWER: Well, someone does with your picture and name and 300 friends.
JESSE: I only have 300 friends? [Whispers] What the hell. I guess that’s a little irritating that someone put up a page in your name. That’s kind of annoying.

INTERVIEWER: Are there any perks to your job?
JESSE: No, nothing. I don’t go to nightclubs, I don’t go to nice restaurants. There’s no perk that can be had aside from getting a slice of pizza at interviews. But you could. People really could exploit it. I haven’t been single for 7 years, but I know people who are maybe my level of attractiveness or less and they can have sex quite often.
INTERVIEWER: Does that baffle you?
JESSE: That’s great, because then they’ll tell me about it.

INTERVIEWER: I loved you in also Adventureland. That was a really good movie, and then the sequel Zombieland I really enjoyed. I'm wondering like, are there going to be any more "Land" movies you're gonna conquer -- or are you trying like, to stay away from that genre?
JESSE: I think they're making a movie of Candyland the board game. I was trying to get a role in that.

INTERVIEWER: Are you at a stage in your career where you’re getting recognized on the street?
JESSE: I normally get recognized as either a guy from Spring Awakening, or there’s this other guy that screams at me all the time, "Hey Napoleon Dynamite!"

Interviewer: Do you dislike promoting your movies?
Jesse Eisenberg: It’s not daunting, it’s just monotonous. We do the same interviews over and over. For Zombieland I did interviews with Emma Stone and she’s hysterical. We did about 50 interviews and it’s always the same questions, so what we did before each interview is give each other a phrase or a word we would have to work into the interview to make it a little more interesting. The only time we really laughed was when she made me say stiffy.
Interviewer: How did you work ‘stiffy’ into the interview?
Jesse Eisenberg: I didn’t know what to say, but Woody Harrelson’s character is always drinking alcohol so I said, He always has a lot of stiffy drinks, and then I immediately thought of ejaculate and could not stop laughing.
