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."

Driver: "The only thing I know that makes me feel comfortable is to know as much as I can. Not like what the shots are going to be, but knowing enough about my character that I can forget those things. And more specifically, my lines. I have to know my lines. I have to know something really well, so I can forget it when we're doing it. And there is comfort in knowing, 'Okay, there's not another stone that I could have overturned.'"

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

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

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."

Driver: "People always are desperate to have others acknowledge that they are different."

Driver: "You have friends, and they die. You have a disease, someone you care about has a disease, Wall Street people are scamming everyone, the poor get poorer, the rich get richer. That's what we're surrounded by all the time."

Driver: "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."

Driver: "I don't understand technology, and I'm very scared of it."

Driver: "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."

Driver: "I like everything I do to have some kind of meaning."

Driver: "I feel like I have to move violently once a day, or I'll lose my mind."

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."

Driver: "I mean, I did plays in high school, but I was convinced you couldn't make a living doing it."

Driver: "We don't understand why we're here, no one's giving us an answer, religion is vague, your parents can't help because they're just people, and it's all terrible, and there's no meaning to anything."

Driver: "For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting."

Driver: "I trained myself, whenever I walk into auditions, to hate everyone in the room."

Driver: "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."

Driver: "I feel like I'll never get over red carpets. They're so bizarre and awkward."

Driver: "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."

Driver: "It was very clear to me I wanted to be an actor when I got out into civilian life."

Driver: "There's such an emphasis on having a character be likable. I don't think it would be helpful if I worried about that. I mean, not everyone's likable."

Driver: "I'm not fashionable."

Driver: "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.'"

Driver: "Even on your hiatus, you feel like you need to keep the character in the back of your brain."

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."

Driver: "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."

Driver: "If there's one organization in the United States that could work on its communication skills, it's the military."

Driver: "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."

Driver: "My grandpa was in the Navy, but it wasn't something that was expected or planned for me to do."

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."

Driver: "I've got weird conflicting feelings about my generation."

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."

Driver: "I studied Morse code."

Driver: "I don't really have foresight as an actor as far as career trajectory - I just stick to no-brainer situations."

Driver: "You have to be forward-moving and able to balance a lot of things at the same time. I attribute a lot of that to the Marine Corps and Juilliard both."

Driver: "Interesting things always come from being really exhausted and really sick."

Driver: "How do you take what you do as seriously as possible but not so seriously that it ends up inhibiting what you do?"

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."

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."

Driver: "Emphasis in the Marine Corps isn't on talking about your feelings."

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."

Driver: "What is important is to maintain integrity of the story, of the character, of the movie, even if it's a big production."

Driver: "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."
