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
For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting.
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 mean, I did plays in high school, but I was convinced you couldn't make a living doing it.
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
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
It's hard to kill that father-son bond.
Adam Driver
I don't have cable. I just never watched a lot of TV.
Adam Driver
Emphasis in the Marine Corps isn't on talking about your feelings.

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
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 have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.
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
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
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
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'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
Through theater and acting school, I found a way to articulate myself.
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.
