More quotes by 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 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
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.

Addiction is a health issue, not a social issue, not a crime, not a legal issue.

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
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.

Our criminal justice system has swallowed up too many people I love.
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 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 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
You know, my childhood was pretty colorful I like to use the word turbulent.
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.
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.

Revenge is not a positive state of mind or energy to indulge your self in.
