Adam Driver Quotes

You can't be nervous when you know your steps.

When you prepare for something, you can then play around; you're not as worried about remembering your lines because you already know them so well. That's where you can find the freedom. So I'm all about prep work.

My strength lies in prepping. I'm not someone who can just walk onto the set and perform.

When you're prepared, you're more confident. When you have a strategy, you're more comfortable.

I like being prepared. When things are going on and I have to learn my lines at the last minute, I'm never quite secure enough to allow it to be spontaneous. So the more prepared I am, the more I'm able to kind of let it go . . .

The only set thing I do is that I really, really memorize the lines. I've gotta be so comfortable with the words.

Because if I don't know my lines, I really don't know what I'm doing.

I learn the whole script before I show up.

I like predictability because I know what I'm getting into.

Script for an actor is like a bible. You carry it with you, you read it over and over, you go to your passages.

We feel much happier and more secure when we think we know precisely what to do, no matter what happens, then when we have lost our way and do not know where to turn.

I'm not a guy that loves a lot of rehearsal, but it depends.

I never don't know my lines. I never take the audition pages into the room. I end up relying on them or looking at them too much, and it makes me feel unprepared, so I always learn my lines without fail.

I find it difficult to work if I don't know the lines, you know, and not just knowing - they're second nature to me. Then, whatever happens in the performance when you're actually doing it, you're not going to go off. You're going to retain all of that. So I like to have my lines.
