Acting is a business and a political act and a craft, but I also feel like it's a service - specifically, for a military audience.

More quotes by Adam Driver
Something I learned in the Marine Corps that I've applied to acting is, one, taking direction, and then working with a group of people to accomplish a mission and knowing your role within that team.
Adam Driver
Through theater and acting school, I found a way to articulate myself.
Adam Driver
Acting, to me, has been many things: It's a business, and it's a craft, and it's a political act - it's whatever adjective is most applicable.
Adam Driver
I always found something strangely paternal about the director-actor relationship. Actors want so much approval.
Adam Driver
I feel like I'll never get over red carpets. They're so bizarre and awkward.
Adam Driver
I originally passed on 'Girls' because I thought TV was evil.
Adam Driver
It was very clear to me I wanted to be an actor when I got out into civilian life.
Adam Driver
At the end of whatever we're doing, I always feel like I want to go back and start over again because now I have a better sense of what it is. I feel that with everything. Like, if you're doing like a long run of a play and you're doing it seven shows a week, at the end of it, I want to go back and start from the beginning.
Adam Driver
I actually run a non-profit where one of the main objectives is to branch out and get a new audience for the theater. Just because the writing is so good and nothing is more effective than seeing something live and happening right in front of your face, so I definitely want to continue to pursue that.
Adam Driver
I have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.
Adam Driver
I think it's possible to be free in a big production. It's the eye of the director and the actor and the story.
Adam Driver
In the military, you learn the essence of people. You see so many examples of self-sacrifice and moral courage. In the rest of life you don't get that many opportunities to be sure of your friends.
Adam Driver
I always think back to the original movies and to those quieter moments where Luke is out in A New Hope, and there are the two suns setting. It is the equivalent, basically, of a farm boy dying to get out of his small town and do something bigger. It's those kinds of universal themes that ground this whole thing in space.
Adam Driver
I mean, I did plays in high school, but I was convinced you couldn't make a living doing it.
Adam Driver
I'm conflicted with theater in the city because you want to reach a diverse audience, and that audience doesn't typically go to the theater.
Adam Driver
I loved being in the Marine Corps, I loved my job in the Marine Corps, and I loved the people I served with. It's one of the best things I've had a chance to do.
Adam Driver
I don't have cable. I just never watched a lot of TV.
Adam Driver
If I'm not doing something or working on something, I literally just sit in the room and think, which I don't think is productive. I won't go outside for days.
Adam Driver
I don't understand technology, and I'm very scared of it.
Adam Driver
What is important is to maintain integrity of the story, of the character, of the movie, even if it's a big production.
