More quotes by 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.
David Simon
Authenticity is an alignment between your beliefs, your desires and your choices in the world. Desires change throughout the course of a life, but agreement between ideals, aspirations and deeds is key to a life of peace, happiness and success.
David Simon
People from here will often say, I'm not from the United States, I'm from New Orleans.
David Simon
America is a country that is now utterly divided when it comes to its society, its economy, its politics. There are definitely two Americas. I live in one, on one block in Baltimore that is part of the viable America, the America that is connected to its own economy, where there is a plausible future for the people born into it.

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
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
For a detective or street police, the only real satisfaction is the work itself when a cop spends more and more time getting aggravated with the details, he's finished. The attitude of co-workers, the indifference of superiors, the poor quality of the equipment - all of it pales if you still love the job all of it matters if you don't.
David Simon
It is your birthright to have a life of meaning and purpose. Whether or not the people in your life have consistently celebrated your incarnation, you deserve to celebrate your existence.
David Simon
We have no sense of the collective anymore in America. The response to Katrina was proof positive of that.
David Simon
Awakening into love is a lifelong path.
David Simon
The beauty of love is that in giving it away, you are left with more than you had before.
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
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.
David Simon
It seems that in Baltimore, one of the most violent cities in America, jurors are far more reluctant to convict criminal defendants than in the suburban enclaves that ring the city.
David Simon
Any music can be healing if it inspires, relaxes, encourages or creates enthusiasm for life in you.
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
While I think storytelling is a meaningful way to spend your life... it does feel a little bit secondary or off-point.
David Simon
TV writers live life of well-paid, specialty prostitutes. We have a very special skill set and we occupy one of the higher floors in the bordello that is writing. We do a very particular job for a very select clientele.
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
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.
