How to use driven in a sentence?

  1. Steve Harvey:

    The only way I can do one more special is if it’s at the end of my television career because it will end my television career, we’re in the cancel culture now. No stand-up that is sponsor-driven can say anything he wants to. Chris Rock can’t. Kevin Hart can’t. Cedric the Entertainer can’t. D.L. Hughley can’t. I can go down the list. The only person that can say what they want to say on stage is Dave Chappelle because he’s not sponsor-driven. He’s subscription-driven.

    This ups the ante for the last one in every way and shape you can imagine, it’s funnier, it moves faster, it’s richer, it has more dynamic stories, deeper emotional pull … we get to spend more time storytelling and less time giving expository backstory and origin story. It’s emotionally driven, character driven, relationship driven, epic space supernova that explodes and it’s bigger brighter faster than any movie you have ever seen.
