Adam Driver
I don't understand technology, and I'm very scared of it.
Adam Driver
I have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.
Adam Driver
I used to eat a whole chicken every day, for lunch. I did that for four years. But it got tiring - go to the store, buy it, eat it. It’s a mess.
Adam Driver
Acting is really about having the courage to fail in front of people.
Adam Driver
Emphasis in the Marine Corps isn't on talking about your feelings.
Adam Driver
I always found something strangely paternal about the director-actor relationship. Actors want so much approval.
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 was born in California. When I was six, we moved to a small town in northern Indiana called Mishawaka.

Juilliard definitely emphasizes the theater. They don't train - at all really - for film acting. It's mostly process-oriented, pretty much for the stage.
Adam Driver
Girls' feels very active and stirring a conversation and controversial, and you can't really ask for more as an actor.
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 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
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
What is important is to maintain integrity of the story, of the character, of the movie, even if it's a big production.
Adam Driver
Through theater and acting school, I found a way to articulate myself.
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
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
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 originally passed on 'Girls' because I thought TV was evil.
