Since people are looking at some of the posts I did linking to Kojion@twitter’s posting excerpts from Miura interviews, I’m just going to link them all below, because I don’t tag consistently.
First:  About Griffith’s ambiguity, his feelings about Guts, the change in Miura’s approach to Griffith’s confidence as he progressed through the story..  Also, Guts’s feelings about Griffith, Casca, and Puck, and how Griffith’s influence may change Guts.
Second: On Griffith as the embodiment/representation of the Collective whereas Guts represents the individual.
Third: About the state of Guts and Casca as forever stuck at the stage before falling in love. This one is funny because there’s an official english translation for it in the back of the Berserk guidebook that translates it as the stage before a relationship but realtalk, that’s not what he said, he said before falling in love.
Fourth: Griffith’s difficult mental structure trapping him, his guilt issues, the pre-eclipse Casca marriage nightmare, and his being inspired to create Griffith by people he knew who were abused as children. Going into Tao themes as Berserk goes forward.
Fifth: About Apostles and how their state of mind is analogous to being in a constant state of rage. Also some commentary on the previous stuff.
Sixth: This is the one most people have seen. The Lost Chapter, the ending of Berserk, the possibility of a Skull Knight origins arc, the faces that appear on the ground during the eclipse, the nature of behelits/what they actually are, his perspective on the Eclipse in retrospect and the similarity between his own friendships/relationships and the events of the Golden Age. Also, the extent of Mori’s involvement in Berserk’s creation. How Miura wrote Casca’s personality and his general difficulty writing women. And some random stuff like how annoyed he was by people aping the Dragonslayer, whether Guts and Griffith will eventually fight (he doesn’t say) and how androgynous characters are bisexual to him, I guess. 
Also relevant but not by Miura:
Susumu: About the difference in Berserk’s motif vs. Western fantasy stories and how it’s hard for people used to Western media to understand the series.
I do a fair amount of translation and commentary on translations in general, but those are the ones that came out during that Berserk Festival as Kojion declared it.
There’s some other stuff on my meta roundup post if you’re interested in like manga lines or older stuff that came out before all this.

semi-canonically not being into women as per semi-explicit word of God????? What???
"People who cannot have an object of affection in their infancy may not be able to love women. On the other hand, some may turn to men as the object of their affection. Some value trust with the same sex, not love.  I took my inspiration for Griffith from this area. Griffith may have been abused in the past."
Miura in an interview with Yukari Fuijimoto, as translated here.
He obviously doesn't specify whether Griffith would fall under people who "turn to men as the object of their affection" or people who "value trust, not love," but either way the implication is fairly clear that Griffith was based on people (his friends to be specific, as he mentions before the relevant part) who are incapable of loving women and instead emotionally invest in men.
Then, he also refers to Griffith as being unlikely to "fall in personal relationships" but says that "Guts is the only exception." The word he uses for "fall," 落っこちる, has... I'm going to say a romantic connotation but the truth is if you look it up in a Japanese-Japanese dictionary the definitions the word is given are 1. a word used to mean fall in the Kanto region and 2. fall romantically in love.
On the subject of the first one, obviously, trauma doesn't change your sexuality but try to cut him some slack given that its a 23 year old interview with an older Japanese man - my own bisexual relative (Japanese, and just slightly older than Miura) believes she is bisexual due the abuse she suffered in the past. It's an antiquated thinking issue.

“‘The thing about hatred… it’s the place where people who can’t look sorrow in the eye without waverin’ run off to. Even more than a blood-rusted sword, vengeance is somethin’ you soak and sharpen in blood. You sink the blade called your heart deep into blood in order to fix the nicks called sorrow. The more you sharpen, the more it rusts, so you sharpen it again. In the end, all that’s left is a pile of rust and scraps.’”
— Kentaro Miura, “Berserk”
