Nothing Will Ever Top 'the Wire.' It

You Don't See A Lot Of Black Rock Stars. The Music Industry Tends To Be Segregated Stylistically. It's Hard For A Black Artist To Cross Over To Rock Music.

I Was Coming From A Theater Background. I Had An Obsession With Classic Film And Cool, Interesting, Intelligent Television. I Didn't Really Understand The Way The Mainstream Television Industry Worked. I Just Thought "the Wire Is So Good That It's Going To Be A Huge Hit, And We'll Get Awards Up The Yin-yang Forever." That's What I Thought!

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.

Because Of The Way Tech Is Changing, And Becoming Cheaper And User-friendly, It's Becoming Easier To Make Films Cheaply, Maintaining Quality.
