More quotes by 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 have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.
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 don't have cable. I just never watched a lot of TV.
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

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 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
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
Through theater and acting school, I found a way to articulate myself.
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
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
For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting.
