Having been through the muck and mire, I've had my own brush with bad choices.
Michael K. Williams
The most successful people reach the top not because they are free of limitations, but because they act in spite of their limitations
Michael K. Williams
I don't consider myself a person of fashion because it's too sophisticated. My thing is I look at style like swagger. I like things that pull me, that I gravitate to.
Michael K. Williams
For me, my past characters been hard, the way they died, being murdered, the sadness that goes around, the death. It's a very hard thing to do.

Revenge is not a positive state of mind or energy to indulge your self in.
Michael K. Williams
I grew in a community where I saw the process of how one becomes a drug dealer or a gang banger or a stick-up kid. There's a series of events that happen. People don't just wake up and decide they wanna be that.
Michael K. Williams
My dancing came about as a way to be cool, actually. I knew early on that I was not a street kid. I didn't have the moxie, what it took to run the streets with the dudes that I grew up wanting to emulate. But I had a huge need to be accepted, so I found that I could be the party king. I did drugs really well, and I partied really well.
Michael K. Williams
I haven't had a problem with being typecast, but if I was only getting one type of role, I wouldn't mind. What I'm worried about is not working.
Michael K. Williams
I come to work on time. I focus on my job. I bust my scenes out and everything else kind of happens from there.
Michael K. Williams
I am a dark-skinned, nappy-headed, scar-faced dude from the streets of Brooklyn. I can't hide from being who I am. It's all over my face.
Michael K. Williams
Music's been part of my entire life. It's in my DNA.
Michael K. Williams
My goal is to end mass incarceration and change the laws to stop locking up low-level, nonviolent drug charges. Stop charging drug addicts as criminals.
