For a long time I felt like I was fighting my age, like I was constantly trying to prove to people that I was a savvy peer, and I felt them viewing me as a kid. I was a cocky kid, and I felt like I was an adult at, like, 9, you know? I think that’s because my parents always treated me as an adult. Ezra Miller Read Quote
I love my family and I had a very wonderful, magical childhood. But New Jersey was actually a very cold place. There was such an intense concentration of wealth, and such a low concentration of any actual human happiness. Ezra Miller Read Quote
I’ve fallen prey to my fair share of moments of the phobias of others and the way that that can become an attack. Ezra Miller Read Quote
The way I would choose to identify myself wouldn’t be gay. I’ve been attracted mostly to ‘she’s’ but I’ve been with many people and I’m open to love wherever it can be found. Ezra Miller Read Quote

I wouldn’t want to lose out on my macho action movie just because I told people I was queer. Ezra Miller Read Quote
The token gay character is always so funny and so fantastic. That’s happened a lot. Or they’re often purely victims. Ezra Miller Read Quote
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. Ezra Miller Read Quote
My mother took me to a lot of operas and when I was eight I got the opportunity to be in one and I realized that transformation into these make-believe situations was possible. I decided that was essentially what I wanted to do with my life. Ezra Miller Read Quote
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. Ezra Miller Read Quote
