On LA:
“L.A. Bleh. You go for lunch and look around and everyone’s a bit of a douche. Even the people I love. That’s really trashing L.A., and I don’t mean that because I have the coolest friends in the world, but...”
On New York:
“People sort of complain about the pace. Friends of mine from London find it really intense, but I thrive in that kind of environment. It’s sort of cliché, but it’s motivating and inspiring. It feels incredibly open and boundaryless. You can barely speak English and be a New Yorker. New York takes anyone, accepts everyone. I feel increasingly, in light of current events, that I want to be around that kind of openness. I think subliminally that’s probably the most important part.”
On ex and baby daddy Tom Sturridge, who lives a few blocks from Miller:
“Yeah, [we hang out] all the time. We do bedtime every day. We felt like as much togetherness as possible would be ideal, and fortunately we really love each other and are best friends, and so that works. It’s not that it’s not complicated, because it is.”
On motherhood:
“I had an amazing moment the other day where I just heard this ‘Mama!’ from upstairs. I said, ‘I’m coming, I’m coming.’ And as I got to the landing I just smelled, like, puke. And she’d thrown up basically off the top bunk, so the splatters were like: Pow! Like all four walls. She had the norovirus or whatever. I was like, ‘I’m coming, I’m coming!’ And I skidded on the sick and fell. Whacked my head. Then I get her out of the bunk; she’s crying, covered in sick. I take her to the bathroom, take all her clothes off, and then the dog comes up and starts eating the sick. And I get her in the bath and in my bed, and I’m just, like, literally naked, mopping, and crying at midnight. You know, and that’s parenthood. You’re so enriched by it and so fulfilled, but at the same time, I look at these people who just don’t have any responsibility, and it feels like the responsibility is crippling.”
On how her body has changed after having her daughter:
“I do miss my breasts being where they were. And, yes, I have nipples like fighter pilots’ thumbs. But I also sort of like that they’re a little ’70s. And that they fed my kid.”
