Adam Driver Quotes

I own a guitar, a piano, a bass Picture Quote #1

I think it’s good to live an artful life Picture Quote #1

I don’t feel like I have to dress up to go to the deli Picture Quote #1

I don’t have cable. I just never watched a lot of TV Picture Quote #1

I auditioned in Chicago for Juilliard and didn’t get in. I was basically living in a back room of my parents’ house, paying rent and not doing anything with my life. I’d like to say it was patriotic to join the Marines, but it was also that I was doing nothing honorable with my life and spending too much time at McDonald’s Picture Quote #1

I never played sports or got into the whole guy camaraderie of, like, ‘I love you, man! Seniors forever!’ So suddenly being in the military with these guys who were under these very heightened circumstances, isolated from their families, living this very kind of Greek lifestyle, it changed my life in a really big way Picture Quote #1

Costume people are always saying they don’t have clothes big enough for me Picture Quote #1

What is important is to maintain integrity of the story, of the character, of the movie, even if it’s a big production Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I was in a mountain biking accident and broke my sternum about three months before my unit was supposed to deploy to Iraq, and it’s such a close-knit community that the idea of not getting to go is hugely jarring, so I tried to get put back in training and wound up injuring it worse Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think some of my best theatre training has been in the Marine Corps. Not only meeting a bunch of characters, but growing up. You’re in really adult situations at a young age, as far as being in charge of people Picture Quote #1

My wife changes the way that I dress. She makes me dress nicer than I want to dress. I feel like I perpetually dress like a 14-year-old boy, and she makes me stand up straight and wear clean clothes Picture Quote #1

I’m one of those crazy people, if I’m watching the trailer for a movie and I’m really excited by it, I’ll turn it off because I don’t want to know anything. I want to be surprised because I love that more than knowing anything Picture Quote #1

Just having the internet is a weird and dangerous thing because people become accustomed to knowing things when they want to know them and not having to work for it. I definitely see the value in not knowing everything and having mystery in life and mystery in people Picture Quote #1

Just being in the military, you’re so violent. We got into fights about just random things all the time. I don’t think as aggressively as I did when I was in the Marine Corps Picture Quote #1

Working on ‘Girls’ opened up a lot of opportunity for me. It’s like a dream job. It’s a dream Picture Quote #1

There’s something really exciting about playing someone where you’re given license to be unpredictable Picture Quote #1

I was having an argument with my stepfather, and he was like, ‘Why don’t you join the Marine Corps?’ And I was like, ‘Noooo! Well, maybe, actually... ‘ I went and saw the recruiter, who was like, ‘Are you on the run from the cops? Because we’ve never had someone want to leave so fast.’ Picture Quote #1

Just the service aspect of running a nonprofit is so gratifying because it takes the attention off yourself. I’m not an acting monk or anything. I’m not, like, the most well-adjusted actor. But it’s really designed to focus on yourself, or it can be. So it’s good to have something else to focus on that reminds you that it’s not always about you Picture Quote #1

I think it’s a common misconception in the civilian community that the military community is filled with just drills and discipline and pain. They forget that these are humans who are in an abnormal situation Picture Quote #1

With brain and body, it’s great if you have a connection between the two, but when separated, that leads to a lot of conflict Picture Quote #1

I trained myself, whenever I walk into auditions, to hate everyone in the room Picture Quote #1

Acting, believe it or not, can get very self-involved! I feel fortunate to have been able to work on things with people who have a very specific point of view and perspective, and who feel like they’re doing something very active Picture Quote #1

I was living in a small town in Indiana working as a telemarketer and a vacuum salesman. I was really bad: the vacuums seemed to always be falling apart. Every time I did a demonstration, I’d say, ‘This is the material the astronauts used on Apollo 13.’ And no sooner had that come out of my mouth, something would malfunction Picture Quote #1

I’m constantly thinking about the role, and there’s an infinite amount of questions you can ask yourself about a character to the point that it’s hard to find the boundaries of when to not work Picture Quote #1

September 11 happened, and all my friends were like, ‘Let’s join the military!’ and I was the only one who actually did Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
