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
New Orleans, more than many places I know, actually tangibly lives its culture. It's not just a residual of life it's a part of life. Music is at every major milestone of our life: birth, marriage, death. It's our culture.
Wendell Pierce
What thoughts are to the individual, art is to the community as a whole. That's where you reflect on who you are, who you hope to be, what you've gone through, and where you hope to go.
Wendell Pierce

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
Our thoughts are to the individual as our art is to the community.
Wendell Pierce
The power of a sports team in a community it's almost indescribable.
