I've never met anyone with a perfect upbringing. It seems to me that life on planet Earth just doesn't work that way. The basic challenges of getting our needs met and managing boundaries are inherent in growing up human.

More quotes by David Simon
There are a couple of ideas for features that I would love to do. They happen to be comedies.
David Simon
The why is what makes journalism an adult game. The why is what makes policy coherent and useful. The why is what transforms bureaucrats and foot soldiers and political leaders into viable instruments of rational and affirmative change. The why is everything and without it, the very suggestion of human progress becomes a cosmic joke.
David Simon
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.
David Simon
Every day, human beings are worth less. That's the triumph of capitalism. The money gets made, and the fewer people we need to make that money.
David Simon
On a practical level I'm a TV producer and storyteller who's gone about as long as you can go without achieving a mass audience.

Awakening into love is a lifelong path.
David Simon
All stress is ultimately related to loss or the fear of loss.
David Simon
It is your birthright to live a life abundant in love. Make the commitment today to open your heart and let your love flow.
David Simon
We are innately creative beings capable of writing a love story worth living, and we cannot afford to miss out on the opportunity to experience nourishing relationships.
David Simon
You are worthy of love and you deserve to be happy. You have these beautiful qualities and many more because you are living the gift of a human incarnation. My hope is that you will embrace these truths and your birthright to live a life abundant in love, joy, and celebration.

Lawrence Gilliard Jr. is a fine actor and I've always felt some residual guilt that we killed him so early in The Wire. It was always planned that way we didn't kill him because of anything he did, we don't kill off actors just to do it.

What drugs haven't destroyed, the war against them has
David Simon
We're now seeing levels of inequality raise their heads that we haven't seen since the age of the robber barons. If somebody watched The Deuce, and understood the allegory about capital and labor, and understands what happens when one side is vulnerable to the other, that would be swell.
David Simon
A little anger is a good thing if it isn't on your own behalf, if it's for others deserving of your anger, your empathy.
David Simon
There came this point where I sat down with all my notebooks and I had to start to write, when I thought: this whole notion of writing for the person who understands nothing, the average reader ... He has to die! I can't have him in my head. And so the person I started writing for was the homicide detective.
David Simon
The beauty of love is that in giving it away, you are left with more than you had before.
David Simon
One of the sad things about contemporary journalism is that it actually matters very little. The world now is almost inured to the power of journalism. The best journalism would manage to outrage people. And people are less and less inclined to outrage.
David Simon
Acceptance means focusing on the present while assessing the choices available to you in this moment. If there are many possibilities, make the choice that is likely to bring the most evolutionary results. If there is only one choice, take it. If there are no obvious choices, relax and accept the fact that for now, you cannot do anything.
David Simon
The greatest contribution we can make to the wellbeing of those in our lives is to have peace in our own hearts.

Boiled down to its core, the truth is always a simple, solid thing
