Michael Schulman, "Original Man Why Do So Many Directors Want to Work With Adam Driver?" New Yorker,  October 28, 2019, pp 54-63.

"One time he snapped so sharply at a student who had used his yoga mat that he reduced the guy to tears. "I was, like, I gotta be better at communicating," he said.  He holed up at the performing-arts library and read plays by David Mamet and John Patrick Shanley, and found that drama helped him express his roiling emotions."
