I was training to be an electrician. I suppose I got wired the wrong way round somewhere along the line.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm wired differently.
To be honest, in my five years as an electrician, I never got the license.
I started directing on 'The Wire.'
No, I don't think 'The Wire' screwed up my career at all.
I started working occasionally for my father when I was around six. The first skill I learned was how to join a plug to a wire.
I was relatively technically adept. I can edit and wire up a light.
The wire is a safe place for me to be. The street is not. Life is not. It's a rigorous and simple path. It's straight. You don't have meanders like, you know, on the ground, in life.
Fortunately, I've also been an electrician, and that's a happy memory for me.
I went to Carnegie Mellon and was an electrical engineer, but electrical engineering wasn't right for me.
I walk on the wire; it's my profession, and there are no two high wire walks alike.
