- On Wentworth: Anybody can be 'offed' at any time.
- So for the audience any one of your favourite characters could be gone.
- I don't know if it's a good thing that prison seems to be a running theme in my roles.
- It was a crazy time as I was directing Alibi in Auckland while shooting Wentworth in Melbourne. It was a lot of travel but on the upside, the workload made it a lot easier to sleep on the plane than normal.
- There are lead characters on the show who have been taken out. So when you're reading the scripts you think 'What's going to happen to my character?
- Yes, I'll always remember being in a supermarket, before I had work, checking out my groceries and I didn't have enough on my card. I even had to put some things back. Then, when I got to my car, I had a call from my agent telling me to go in for a screen test. That meant I was down to one of the last choices. You actually sign a contract before starting the role, and this one specified the tens of thousands of dollars I could potentially make. I didn't actually get that role, but it was very symbolic of Hollywood.
- Greg Miller's biggest asset is listening, and listening is one of the biggest assets you can have as an actor. So the biggest thing I have to do is to listen. I use the listening skill I already do as an actor for the character as well. It's probably the most important skill for both crafts, as a psychiatrist and as an actor.
- I definitely feel the writing plays a huge part. Wentworth has some pretty tough subject matter, but also in terms of longevity, I think it's to do with how the cast and crew get on. Making a show last this long is very hard to do, unless all the people behind the scenes enjoying working together.
- It's Amazing! I feel very lucky to be a part of this family. In fact, the first thing I noticed when I started is that they totally are a family. They welcomed me from the very first read through. I feel very lucky to be a part of something they've created that has lasted for so many years. I came into it late, but I've really enjoyed coming back to known faces, and to welcome new cast members as well. It's nice to repay the kindness given to me.
- Greg is still very ambitious. Last season he came with a mandate to cure recidivism, which has now been taken away, so he finds a particular case study with an inmate, who has a unique backstory. It's that which could potentially bring his ambition back into the forefront again.
