More quotes by David Simon
The why is what makes journalism an adult game. The why is what makes policy coherent and useful.

The trick to making a story matter is that every now and then, somebody you care about has to go. If it's somebody that you don't care about, then it doesn't really have - the stakes aren't there. But if you do that every now and then, then the story matters to people. And there are actual stakes involved, emotional stakes.

While I think storytelling is a meaningful way to spend your life... it does feel a little bit secondary or off-point.

African American music can't happen in Germany or in Italy or in Mumbai. If America disappeared off the face of the Earth today, the greatest single cultural loss would be blues, jazz, hip-hop, R&B, rock-and-roll.

It's been said that no man is a hero to a newspaperman, and I spent too many years as an ink-stained wretch.
David Simon
I always tell Lawrence Gilliard Jr. he never got a decent bite of the apple, so I was happy we had a role that seemed perfect for him. I like the idea of him as one of the few moral centres of the Wire show.
