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
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
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 feel like I'll never get over red carpets. They're so bizarre and awkward.
Adam Driver
Acting is really about having the courage to fail in front of people.
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 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 always found something strangely paternal about the director-actor relationship. Actors want so much approval.
Adam Driver
Emphasis in the Marine Corps isn't on talking about your feelings.
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'm not an acting monk or anything. I'm not, like, the most well-adjusted actor.
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
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
I mean, I did plays in high school, but I was convinced you couldn't make a living doing it.
Adam Driver
The Marine Corps is some of the best acting training you could have. Having that responsibility for people's lives, suddenly time becomes a really valuable commodity and you want to make the most of it. And for acting, you just have to do the work, just keep doing it.
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
It's hard to kill that father-son bond.
Adam Driver
Yeah, September 11 happened and all my friends were like, 'Let's join the military!' and I was the only one who actually did.
Adam Driver
It was very clear to me I wanted to be an actor when I got out into civilian life.
Adam Driver
I don't understand technology, and I'm very scared of it.
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.
