"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"
About this Quote
There’s intent in the specificity. “Bars or clubs” aren’t just locations, they’re shorthand for extrovert theater: flirting, networking, being seen. Miller counters with domestic micro-rituals that signal control, intimacy, and safety. Scrabble is a sly flex, too: it reframes “dork” as someone who’d rather win with vocabulary than vibe. And the pop-culture choices matter. Law and Order is comfort TV built on predictability; The Simpsons is a long-running universe you can disappear into without risking anything. “Losing a whole weekend” reads like guilt and relief at once, an admission that retreat isn’t laziness so much as self-preservation.
Contextually, it’s a celebrity self-portrait designed to puncture the myth of constant access. It also signals boundaries: a preference for curated companionship over ambient attention. For an actor whose job is public projection, the subtext is almost political: off-camera, he’s opting out of the marketplace of cool.
