Adam Driver

I don't consider myself a celebrity. That would be kind of sad.

Any actor is happy to be involved with something that's challenging, controversial, and not easily palatable. Things that are too dumbed down or easy to swallow are uninteresting... It's good when people have such a polarizing response.

Writers are so important.

Interesting things always come from being really exhausted and really sick.

There's a kind of immediacy that comes with being constantly connected that I don't really relate to in my generation.

I have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.

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.

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.

Girls' feels very active and stirring a conversation and controversial, and you can't really ask for more as an actor.

In the Marine Corps, everything had a purpose.

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.

I think it's good to live an artful life.
