If you want to learn about America, watch 'The Wire.' It's a profound piece of entertainment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You grew up with America on the TV, and you think you know a place before you get there, and you have this idea of it in your head.
We, as Americans, have so much to learn here. We have a shockingly low level of global awareness and familiarity and little idea of how the world sees us. And those disturbing facts keep getting us into a lot of trouble.
I know America's great not because I read about it in a book but because I've seen it with my own eyes.
We're learning a tremendous amount of propaganda from television and the Internet.
The more I know about America, the better I'll be at performing American characters and American stories.
Entertainment is one of America's greatest exports. And the stories that we tell about people inform the world about how to think about people.
'The Wire' really is an American classic, and I think that's something to be very proud of.
I'm not trying to do anything except entertain America.
There's been an unquestionable decline in American culture. The education system is thin on the ground. People don't read as deeply and at length as they used to. And the media has been scattered into so many cable channels.
I don't understand anything about America's culture.
