I love 'The Wire;' that's my favorite show, so I'll watch that.

I'm an HBO subscriber, and I watch a bunch of great shows on HBO.

I'm on record saying that HBO is the best television company in the world, and I believe they are. I think they absolutely understand how to make television that is really, really vital and interesting and visceral, and all the things that television really should be.

I just love shows that don't hand everything to you, that ask you to be smarter. I think that's something really important that HBO has done to change the landscape of TV.

I think 'The Wire' is my all-time favorite TV show. It's so brilliant, the way it critiques society, and how it handles that everybody who gets power loses their moral code and stops going to the root of the problem and just tries to maintain their own power.

HBO is really famous for hiring good people and staying out of their way until they ask for help, or need it. And that reputation is earned.

'The Wire,' I was such a fan of that show the first season - I think that's the best-written show on TV.

What's great about HBO is they just care about quality. They care about the brand. They're not worried about ratings; obviously they want people to buy subscriptions, but they just want people to be into what's on HBO.

I've been a fan of Showtime for a long, long time, and I've been a fan of the shows that it's had on.

HBO churn out some unbelievable stuff. They really got me with things like 'Band of Brothers.' But you can't beat 'The Sopranos.'
