More quotes by Adam Driver
I was born in California. When I was six, we moved to a small town in northern Indiana called Mishawaka.
Adam Driver
Through theater and acting school, I found a way to articulate myself.
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 don't have cable. I just never watched a lot of TV.
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
I mean, I did plays in high school, but I was convinced you couldn't make a living doing it.
Adam Driver
I'm not an acting monk or anything. I'm not, like, the most well-adjusted 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
Girls' feels very active and stirring a conversation and controversial, and you can't really ask for more as an actor.
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
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
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 don't understand technology, and I'm very scared of it.
Adam Driver
I feel like I'll never get over red carpets. They're so bizarre and awkward.
Adam Driver
I originally passed on 'Girls' because I thought TV was evil.
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
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
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
For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting.
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
