More quotes by Michael K. Williams
The Wire' is very realistic and based on real events.
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
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 know nothing of what it is to be a gangster.
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

Michael K. Williams
Having been through the muck and mire, I've had my own brush with bad choices.

Music's been part of my entire life. It's in my DNA.
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
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 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
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'm more liable to hurt myself than someone else.
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
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
My job is to bring to life the character, not to put the words on the paper.
Michael K. Williams
You know, my childhood was pretty colorful I like to use the word turbulent.
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
Our criminal justice system has swallowed up too many people I love.
