Miller: "I'd like to make as much art as I possibly can before I die, so I'm working on a few things."
Miller: "Everybody feels like an outcast because the world is so large and every fingerprint is so vastly different from one another, and yet we have these standards and beliefs, and dogmatic systems of judgment and ranking, in almost all the societies of the world."
Miller: "I am very much in love with no one in particular."
Miller: "I always was very interested in intellect and the massive world of knowledge out there, but in terms of being a kid who wanted to be treated as an equal, school is not the place."
Miller: "I think I enjoy playing human beings no matter the substance of their character."
Miller: "Doing things like playing music, something that's so natural and basic to human function, running around in nature, eating delicious food. These things are intrinsic in basic, primordial to human beings, so that's sort of a way to return to a blank canvas, allowing my true personality to return."
Miller: "I think everybody's crazy, and if I'm the one being a little direct about it, that's fine by me."
Miller: "The escape to an unchallenging fairy tale can be very nice and I'm all for that, but film can also challenge you to confront the realities of our world."
Miller: "I'm super down with being irresponsible. I'm just trying to make sure my lack of responsibility no longer hurts people."
Miller: "I like a role that is challenging. That's what I look for and I'm certainly always looking to move further and maybe push myself into a place that might be temporarily uncomfortable so that I might learn something."
Miller: "Family is this very deep, complex thing that for most people becomes everything. It informs your entire life."
Miller: "It makes sense that we came up with our public school system during the Industrial Revolution because it's like everybody is a factory worker, eating their terrible food and going back to the room where you're silent and listening to an idiot. That's an epitomizing idea, getting called 'Nothing' for your whole high school experience."
Miller: "Life is a grand party."
Miller: "Every teenager deals in his or her own sexuality and has to face it and figure out how it can coincide with the rest of their lives in a healthy manner. And try to navigate it in our modern society, which is wrought with stigma and taboo and repression, and sort of as a result, these inner monsters that some teenagers really struggle with."
Miller: "I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders."
Miller: "I'd say I'm drawn to characters that ring true to me. Adolescence is a troubled time for everyone, so a lot of those characters have been troubled, tortured people. It's been a great way to navigate my adolescence by having these more troubled kids as an outlet."
Miller: "The token gay character is always so funny and so fantastic. That's happened a lot. Or they're often purely victims."
Miller: "I don't need my sexuality celebrated, and I certainly don't need it to be criticized. I didn't necessarily want it to be observed, but here we are."
Miller: "I wouldn't want to lose out on my macho action movie just because I told people I was queer."
Miller: "I think a lot of people are projecting their own troubles and fears concerning sexuality onto those around them, and it does result in the perpetuation of a lot of hateful notions. As long as I can remember, I've felt really horrified watching those dynamics play out."
Miller: "I was a weird animal in high school, doing no work and getting straight A's."
