More quotes by Wentworth Miller
I think this is what college is all about: self-examination and dealing with those questions of Who am I?
Wentworth Miller
My father is black and my mother is white. Therefore, I could answer to either, which kind of makes me a racial Lone Ranger, caught between two communities.
Wentworth Miller
I broke my nose in gym when a ball hit me. I took a girl to her debutante ball the next week wearing a tux and a big, honking bandage. Not the romantic night she had in mind.
Wentworth Miller
It was just expected that I would go to college. Both my parents are teachers and they tolerated acting, but I was going to go to a school of quality or bust. Which made my downshifting back to acting afterward a little difficult.
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
I think it's necessary when you're dealing with a dark show that has explosion and violence to have defined moments of lightness and humor, even romance. It's important, and it deepens the character, of course.
Wentworth Miller
It's the way the business works, you're not just an actor, you're a diplomat and a publicist and a politician, and there are certain expectations.
Wentworth Miller
My rule is you want someone whos got both feet on the ground. An ideal girlfriend might be someone who works in the business and can understand what youre going through but is not an actor themselves - is willing to run lines with you but when you start acting crazy, they throw up their hands and take you for what you are and be accepting.
Wentworth Miller
I think what you learn, working on a film or TV set, is how to tune certain things out. You've got 60-100 people swirling around you, each of them with a very important job to do.
Wentworth Miller
Prison Break is so far-fetched, I had to make viewers believe that Michael is capable of making the impossible possible.
Wentworth Miller
My definition of cool is finding your own definition of cool and not necessarily taking your lead from what other people tell you or from what you might read from magazines or see on TV.
Wentworth Miller
I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly.
Wentworth Miller
Everyone has their challenges.
Wentworth Miller
It's very much a back and forth conversation between the fans and the writers, between the writers and the powers that be. Their opinions, especially when expressed online or via correspondence, are important and are taken into consideration.
Wentworth Miller
I worked with the same trainer that worked with Denzel Washington in THe Hurricane. It was three months of training, five days a week, 4 to 5 hours a day. This was followed by a month of choreography.
Wentworth Miller
Entertainers are there to entertain. They aren't there to teach your children the lessons that you haven't bothered to teach them at home yourself.
Wentworth Miller
An actor's job is to embrace emotions and situations that in real life we spend all of our time running away from.
Wentworth Miller
In my career as an actor, there is a catchphrase that Scofield always says often in regards to his brother, 'Have a little faith.' In my own career as an actor, there were times when I was the only one who believed in myself in the face of the odds.
Wentworth Miller
This role is more visible, and I grew up without a lot of that sort of modeling so I'm relieved and proud to have done this film.
Wentworth Miller
I have very high expectations of myself. I'm a very competitive person but competitive with myself. I want to be the best that I can be and if that means that I'm eventually better than everyone else then so be it.
Wentworth Miller
