More quotes by 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
My family put a lot of emphasis on homework, so there weren't too many comic books or video games for me, when I was growing up.
Wentworth Miller
You're confronted with the quandary: do I grind things to a halt? Ideally you would, but I have better things to do than educate people.
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 had my one guest star on The Flash, and that became several guest stars, and then they mentioned this new show.
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 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
I feel extremely lucky, extremely grateful, and a little bittersweet, too.
Wentworth Miller

There'll be moments when I'm out in the prison yard, chatting with the cast and the crew, getting ready to shoot a scene. And then I'll remember if I were actually an inmate, I'd only be out there an hour. The other 23 hours of the day, I'd be in my cell. It's kind of a downer.
Wentworth Miller
My encounters with racism are sort of second-hand situations where I might be standing around with a group of white friends and someone makes a comment that they wouldn't make at my family reunion.
Wentworth Miller
I have my own personal wish list.
Wentworth Miller
You might look at my CV and see I've had 12 jobs, but I've been to over 450 auditions so I've heard 'no' a lot more than I've heard 'yes'. So if I go in looking only to meet my own standards, then that will make taking that rejection a little bit easier. And when I do get that job it will seem like icing on the cake.
Wentworth Miller
I feel as though we're living in a time where there is very little distinction paid between the personal and the professional.
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
Michael Scofield is someone everyone can relate to, but nobody would want to be in his shoes.
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 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
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
My character in 'Prison Break' needs to be formidable. In reality, I'm not very tough at all.
