More quotes by 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 have cable. I just never watched a lot of TV.
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.
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
Emphasis in the Marine Corps isn't on talking about your feelings.
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
For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting.
Adam Driver
I don't understand technology, and I'm very scared of it.
Adam Driver
It's hard to kill that father-son bond.
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
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
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.
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
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 was born in California. When I was six, we moved to a small town in northern Indiana called Mishawaka.
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 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 feel like I'll never get over red carpets. They're so bizarre and awkward.
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.
