More quotes by Adam Driver
Acting is really about having the courage to fail in front of people.
Adam Driver
It's hard to kill that father-son bond.
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 have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.
Adam Driver
I'm not an acting monk or anything. I'm not, like, the most well-adjusted actor.
Adam Driver
I feel like I'll never get over red carpets. They're so bizarre and awkward.
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
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
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 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 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 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 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 originally passed on 'Girls' because I thought TV was evil.
Adam Driver
Emphasis in the Marine Corps isn't on talking about your feelings.
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
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 mean, I did plays in high school, but I was convinced you couldn't make a living doing it.
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.
