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.

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 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
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
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
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
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
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
I'm more liable to hurt myself than someone else.
Michael K. Williams
Music's been part of my entire life. It's in my DNA.
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'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 plenty of adults who act like teenagers.
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
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
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
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
