I'm totally comfortable today with the success that Omar and 'The Wire' have brought me - living with that character, being recognized and remembered for that character.

At first, I did stories on people who were maybe just eccentric. Omar was a natural progression from that.

Working with Al Pacino was an amazing experience. He's such an amazing guy. He's an incredible performer and actor - and, aside from that, just a generous human being.

Juan Hernandez was an actor out of New York, but what made Juan so great and what made Omar so great was that they both already knew how to box, so we didn't have to take them into a gym and teach them how to throw a left jab.

Some of these guys... I've worked with Ice Cube, I think he's an immensely talented rapper and actor.

My brother is really talented.

Alexander Gonzalez Inarritu is a great director. He's the one I first worked with. He's amazing.

He saved the production a tremendous amount. Now they did the scene where Omar is on the horse and he's in the deep snow, they went to Finland to do that. That scene they went to Finland for a week. I wasn't around then.

I got to work with Paul Walker. He's an angel. He was so sweet.

I really liked working with Sean Paul; he is a very attractive guy, very hot. He was fun; the chemistry was really great, it was great to be in the moment.
