More quotes by Michael K. Williams
My only goal is to stay focused on my craft and make sure my life is as sharp as it can be to attack any character that is given to me.
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
Addiction is a health issue, not a social issue, not a crime, not a legal issue.
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
I know plenty of adults who act like teenagers.
Michael K. Williams
I don't dabble in politics too much. I'm really ignorant to the world of politics. I'm not that smart, I'm not that cunning, it's just too much smoke and mirrors for me. I just don't want to play that game.
Michael K. Williams
My job is to bring to life the character, not to put the words on the paper.
Michael K. Williams
Music's been part of my entire life. It's in my DNA.
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
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
Ending a television character that you've been, especially someone like Omar Little, it hurts. For me, it's a huge thing. You feel like a part of you is gone.
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
You know, my childhood was pretty colorful I like to use the word turbulent.
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 know nothing of what it is to be a gangster.
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.
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
When you love someone unconditionally, you go to war for them, and they do that for each other. They know they can call each other when they need each other. In this day and age, everyone needs a friend like in Hap and Leonard.
Michael K. Williams
Our criminal justice system has swallowed up too many people I love.
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
