Quotes

#Quote
1[on The Wire (2002)] We don't know if we'll be involved in a project that had that many people of color working with great characters and great story lines ever again. There was something powerful in that.
2[about his castmates on The Wire (2002)] There was absolutely no ego. Everyone came on the set and said this is about Baltimore. Baltimore is the star.
