I wish I could pull shorts off. My wife tells me that I just can't. But that's okay. I'm tall, I can do other things, like change light bulbs.

When I happened to get into school, I felt like I could approach it as aggressively as things in the military.

Obviously, 'Lincoln' is not about the telegraph operator. There's a whole other movie before and after the two isolated scenes that I'm in.
Adam Driver -
I don't consider myself a celebrity. That would be kind of sad.
Adam Driver -
At Juilliard, suddenly I was reading these great plays that could articulate the ways I was feeling in the Marine Corps, and that felt very therapeutic, by putting words to feelings, in a big way.
Adam Driver -
There's so much emphasis on Daniel Day-Lewis and his process, which is appropriately his own. But I was just blown away by his generosity as an actor. He's so giving as an actor that he just naturally commands the focus on set.
Adam Driver -
There were definitely dark nights when you're like, 'Maybe joining the military wasn't such a good idea.' But, in a way, it was the best training to be an actor.
Adam Driver -
The Marine Corps is supposed to be the toughest and most rigorous of its class.

I'm not fashionable.
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 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.
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 -
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.
Adam Driver -
I don't understand technology, and I'm very scared of it.
Adam Driver
-
I want to show that theater isn't just talking about feelings or people wearing tights.
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.
Adam Driver -
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.
Adam Driver -
I don't really have foresight as an actor as far as career trajectory - I just stick to no-brainer situations.
Adam Driver -
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 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
-
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 -
There's something really exciting about playing someone where you're given license to be unpredictable.
Adam Driver -
It's hard to kill that father-son bond.
Adam Driver -
When you get out of the Marine Corps, you feel like you can do anything.
