Adam Driver Quotes

Maybe I don't have an accurate view of myself. For instance, I keep getting cast as 'The Beautiful Girl,' but I don't happen to think I'm beautiful.

I'm not homely enough to play the nerdy girl and not nearly pretty enough to play the pretty girl.

I was never that kind of star. I was never cast because I was gorgeous.

On the one hand, I always get the young ingenue, pretty parts. But I don't think of myself that way because I was an ugly duckling when I was growing up. I have to be reminded when I play a part sometimes that I'm playing the pretty girl.

I think you have to kind of feel like you're pretty handsome and cool to be able to step into an audition for some kind of lead hero, and that's just not how I look.

Usually, when you're an actress, you have to audition 20 times.

I try to explain to people that you get the roles that are right when they're right. If you have a nerd character but you're kind of a cool guy, you're probably not going to get the nerd part. The nerd is going to get the nerd part. You know, someone like me.

I am insecure... because I have to think about what I look like every day.

I'm not that good looking.

I'm never satisfied with the way I look.

A New York casting director, who shall remain nameless, once said to me, 'Marcia, you have what I call the flaring-nostril look, and until you get something done about it, you will never, ever work.'

I used to play a lot of foreign women in my youth because I was prettier then. I would go for interviews, and directors would look at these sultry, exotic looks, hear this clipped accent and think the two don't go together. So they would give me a foreign accent.

The thing is that I never felt beautiful. I really never did. I think I can change my looks and be different things, but I've never thought of myself as this face.

I'm an actor; I'm vain - you want to look good.

When you're trying to look pretty, it's a lot easier to compare you to other people. I always felt intimidated in pilot season trying to audition for 'the girlfriend.' Whereas when it's like, 'you're auditioning for the part of this meth addict, trailer park whatever,' it's like, 'Great!'

And anyway, modeling wasn't for me. I'm too short. I've got a big butt. It wasn't going to happen.

I'm not as beautiful as a model.

I'm not a beautiful person and I never have been.

I've always felt if my nose were more crooked, critics would focus more on my acting.

Girls pour their insecurities into their looks.

I actually got a play from auditioning for something in 'Back Stage' magazine.

As an actor, I felt I couldn't compete. I wasn't as cute as the leading man; I wasn't as brilliant as Robin Williams.

Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles.

I really don't think I ever thought I could be a model. I was shorter than all of the models around and certainly rounder than anybody that I had ever seen in a magazine.

I would do anything for a part, nearly anything. Being in movies doesn't mean being pretty.
