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.”

“I hadn't worked for a year when I had my Prison Break audition and it was the easiest audition I've ever had. I got the script on Friday, went to the audition on Monday and got the part on Tuesday. I was shooting the pilot a week later. I didn't have time to be nervous - it happened so quickly.”

“I wanted to be involved in TV and film in some capacity, so a compromise, because acting seemed unrealistic, and so risky, was to get into the production side. And it was a really fortunate, smart move looking back on it, because it gave me perspective on another side of the business.”

“I spend my weekends sleeping and watching DVDs, and eating at restaurants within a 2-block radius of my apartment.”

“I'm hoping that what I am or what I'm not ethnically doesn't limit me in anyone else's eyes. I guarantee you it doesn't in mine.”

“I'm very pleased with being a part of the Bean Pole family. It's a relationship that makes sense to me. I'm very pleased to have my name associated with Bean Pole Jeans.”

“I certainly learned how to break down a text at Princeton, which helps me break down a script - or at least that's the line I feed my parents when they start wondering where all that good money went.”

“I'm one of those actors who's going to have to create a space for themselves. It's very easy to be the young Tom Cruise, because Hollywood knows what to do with you. But if you're someone who's bringing someone slightly left of center to the table, you're not a sure thing.”

“If I were to wait only for roles that clarify my racial makeup, I'd be waiting for a very, very long time.”

“I surrender the idea of having some kind of control over the arc of my career a lot of the time because you never know what tomorrow's going to bring.”

“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.”

“I noticed that I got a better space in the line in Starbucks when I had my tattoo. People associate tattoos with a certain edge. Then I open my mouth, and something completely different comes out.”

“Four months of preparation and about 12 hours of shooting turned into about 30 seconds of screen time.”

“Confidence is at the root of so many attractive qualities, a sense of humor, a sense of style, a willingness to be who you are no matter what anyone else might think or say and it's true, I do have a certain fondness for women that have dark hair.”

“Michael Scofield is someone everyone can relate to, but nobody would want to be in his shoes.”

“I've never tried writing at a coffeehouse. I just know instinctively it's not for me.”

“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.”

“When I got to college, acting suddenly seemed like a very risky proposition and all my friends were going to law school or med school or Wall Street.”

“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.”

“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.”
