Art is art, and journalism is journalism.

I can only speak as an American, but most journalism here isn't doing its job any more. It's about selling stuff.

Growing up, I never imagined I would be an actor.

That's what David Caruso said to me. We were talking about the whole Emmy thing, and he said that one of the things about awards in this town is that a lot is about the drama - like the drama of the performance. And he said "Your show, The Wire, looks so real, it almost looks like a documentary. And people who aren't artists - a lot of people who vote for this stuff - don't get it."

I’m interested not just in projects that I’ll be starring in, but producing film and TV that’s really quality and great for adults; and when I say great for adults, it doesn’t mean without humor, because I’m also interested in doing comedy.

I started acting, almost on a whim to help my music career.

Don't be a victim; if you want to make movies, make movies.
