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

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.

'The Wire' was a combination of great TV and great theater.

I watched 'The Wire' religiously.

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

It was such a joy to be an actor 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.

Everybody loves 'The Wire,' and I think it's okay, but in the end it's just a police series.

I stopped watching TV because of 'The Wire.' Like, 'The Wire' ruined everything for me because I don't even want to watch anything else now.

Frank Sobotka in 'The Wire' on HBO was one of the greatest characters I've ever played. They cut his throat at the end of that season. There's something about creative coupling that seems to go with great characters, and the fact that you can never play them again once you're done.
