Wentworth Miller
I have to laugh internally when I'm asked in interviews what nightspots I like to hit. I just don't have answers... so sometimes I make them up.
Wentworth Miller
A great book provides escapism for me. The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs.
Wentworth Miller
You only cry for help if you believe there is help to cry for.
Wentworth Miller
A racial community provides not only a sense of identity, that luxury of looking into another's face and seeing yourself reflected back, but a sense of security and support.
Wentworth Miller
As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes. However, as a gay man, I must decline.
