More quotes by Wentworth Miller
If I were to wait only for roles that clarify my racial makeup, I'd be waiting for a very, very long time.
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
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
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 think this is what college is all about: self-examination and dealing with those questions of Who am I?
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
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
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
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
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 want to aspire to something like what Denzel Washington does, which is try to find scripts written for white actors - or Jodie Foster, who reads scripts for male actors.
Wentworth Miller
I'm pretty much a couch potato.
Wentworth Miller
Nobody's ever asked me to pay for a meal before I've eaten it, I've never been pulled over just because I was driving the wrong kind of car in the wrong kind of area at the wrong time of night.
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
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
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
Everyone has their challenges.
Wentworth Miller
My character in 'Prison Break' needs to be formidable. In reality, I'm not very tough at all.
Wentworth Miller
A great book provides escapism for me. The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs.
Wentworth Miller
I'm kind of a dork. I don't have much game. I'm not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble, having dinner with a couple friends, going to see a movie, or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons.
