More quotes by Wendell Pierce
Be your true self. Because if you're not, there are consequences to be paid.
Wendell Pierce
Culture is the intersection of people and life itself. Its how we deal with life, love, death, birth, disappointment... all of that is expressed in culture.
Wendell Pierce
Whenever an actor was going to die, I tried to help them understand not to take it personally. It wasn't about them. It's the story.
Wendell Pierce
A lot of cats in New Orleans, very soulful, very soulful musicians and they assume that they're singers. And they just make that assumption. And so when there's a little intonation problem, people are very forgiving of them because they heard how soulful they play.
Wendell Pierce
I understand that we should never lose our right to be offended, so I accept it. But for me it was always a study of human behavior because if we just demonize it, it becomes unreal.
Wendell Pierce
People forget that art is not just a piece of entertainment. It is the place where we collectively declare our values and then act on them. That's one of the most powerful things we have as a community: our culture and our art. And it's the intersection between life and how people deal with life. It's the most important thing we do.
Wendell Pierce

Wendell Pierce
That is the heart and soul of the American dream, homeownership, the idea of being able to buy a house and start to build your family.
Wendell Pierce
I went to Beijing for the Olympics and was literally right across the track from Usain Bolt. And when he gets to full stride, for every two steps the other guy's taking, he's just taking one.
Wendell Pierce
The role of culture is that it's the form through which we as a society reflect on who we are, where we've been, where we hope to be.
Wendell Pierce
It was really great to also see the response that people were having to 'Treme' 'cause you're in a vacuum when you're on a TV show. You see the response online, you read about it and all of that, but actually to be live and have that many thousands of fans come out, it's really wonderful.
Wendell Pierce
The people of Baltimore are great. I love Baltimore. What I looked forward to, every year, was getting a new apartment in a different part of town and hanging out. People started to see you in the character that you were, so everyone thought I was real police.
Wendell Pierce
There's no greater honor, as an actor, to be a part of a project that changes lives, and awakens and enlightens and entertains.
Wendell Pierce
Our thoughts are to the individual as our art is to the community.
Wendell Pierce
The whole idea of jazz came about was the interpretation of the human dialogue, trading fours. When someone's soloing and someone picks up the solo and plays it back at 'em, it was the imitation of the human dialogue. It was how people spoke, through music.
Wendell Pierce
We don't eat to live, we live to eat because that's a part of the creativity of the day.
Wendell Pierce
We always see abhorrent behavior and say why, but then we get mad when somebody tries to answer.
Wendell Pierce
And that's what art is, a form in which people can reflect on who we are as human beings and come to some understanding of this journey we are on.
Wendell Pierce
One of the richest countries in the history of the world having communities where people have to go over half an hour to get to fresh produce and food is unacceptable.
