'The Wire' really drew on a lot of real-life situations and real-life organizations - it created fiction to make a social statement about reality.

I think 'The Wire' really is relatable. It reflects an ongoing issue across America, about inaccuracies in major cities between rich and the poor and some of the things that go on behind the red tape of council and government bodies.

It's actually quite criminal how 'The Wire' was systematically ignored.

I started directing on 'The Wire.'

What makes 'The Wire' a beautiful story is how true to life it is. In other shows, you have a good guy and a bad guy. In 'The Wire,' bad guys are trying to be good, good guys are doing bad. You have real life. The people who do bad get bad things done to them.

I was training to be an electrician. I suppose I got wired the wrong way round somewhere along the line.

I remember watching 'The Wire,' because I absolutely adored 'The Wire,' and there were so many secret layers within that drama, and it was just fantastic.

I watched 'The Wire' religiously.

It was such a joy to be an actor on 'The Wire.'
