More quotes by Michael K. Williams
I know nothing of what it is to be a gangster.
Michael K. Williams
I'm totally comfortable today with the success that Omar and 'The Wire' have brought me - living with that character, being recognized and remembered for that character.
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
You know, my childhood was pretty colorful I like to use the word turbulent.
Michael K. Williams

Michael K. Williams
My goal as an actor, as an up-and-coming actor in this business is to stay consistent with the work, you know, and if you do good work, and stay focused on the work, writers and directors will pay attention.
Michael K. Williams
Our criminal justice system has swallowed up too many people I love.
Michael K. Williams
I don't believe in typecasting. Just because all my characters may come from the other side of the tracks doesn't mean they are all the same. You don't stereotype people and generalize people, everyone's different.
Michael K. Williams
No one wakes up one day and decides they want to become a drug dealer or they want to be a stick-up kid. Those decisions are made after a series of events have happened in one's life.
Michael K. Williams
Addiction is a health issue, not a social issue, not a crime, not a legal issue.
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 am the epitome of the underdog. By societies standards I should have been dead a long time ago, and I was nobody's gangster, I wasn't a thug, I wasn't selling drugs on the corner - I was scared of that.
Michael K. Williams
Our criminal justice system has swallowed up too many people I love. I am proud to join the ACLU in the fight to make mass incarceration a thing of the past.
Michael K. Williams
I know plenty of adults who act like teenagers.
Michael K. Williams
My job is to bring to life the character, not to put the words on the paper.
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
Music's been part of my entire life. It's in my DNA.
Michael K. Williams
I do happen to love Honey Nut Cheerios. I don't know if I want to walk down to the store in my pajamas for them. But I do love them.
Michael K. Williams
I'm looking for diversity, all my characters may or may not be on the wrong side of the tracks. It doesn't mean that they're all the same.
Michael K. Williams
I'm more liable to hurt myself than someone else.
Michael K. Williams
