Here's some quotes

Michael B. Jordan (Wallace, Barksdale gang dealer): This is some real shyt. It was real to the point where crackheads would come up and try to cop. I had fake money, and they would come over, and an exchange would go down. I would think they were part of the crew, and I’d make the exchange. Then security would come around and be like, “No! No! No!” and break it up. I was like, “Oh, shyt! That’s really a crack-head! I’m sorry! I’m not really a drug dealer!”

Tray Chaney (Malik “Poot” Carr, Barksdale gang dealer): Every time I got a script, I would look and see if Poot lived through that episode: “Yo, let me see if I’m still going to have a job tomorrow.”

Method Man: I always went online to see the reactions that people would have after someone got killed. Snoop, when she got killed, oh you should’ve seen it. You would’ve thought somebody really died. Like it was a funeral happening: “RIP Snoop, we gon’ miss you,” and all this craziness. They were just two lines short of making “In Memory Of” T-Shirts. Same thing with Omar. Stringer, same thing. Then when I die, it’s like “good for him. They should’ve killed his ass sooner.”

John Waters (director, Baltimore icon, Wire superfan): The Wire is the best show on television since PeeWee’s Playhouse, and that was the best thing since Howdy Doody. That’s it for me, nothing’s going to get better. I cried watching the ending. I mean it was such a beautiful tribute to Baltimore. That anybody can say it makes Baltimore look bad is amazing to me because it makes Baltimore look smart!

Clarke Peters: I’ll be crossing the street in London, and someone goes, “Hey, Lester!” and I turn around. They could be talking to any fukking Lester, but I turn around!

lol at Omar saying he felt bamboozled when they brought all the white folks in on season 2, that's how every black person felt watching that shyt

 

[phillycavsfan]

Kinda makes sense since John Waters is a really weird guy.

Andre Royo: They called me and told me I got the part of Bubbles, and my wife got excited. “Oh, shyt! You got the part!” Packing her bag for L.A., and I’m like, “Nah, nah, we filming in Baltimore.” And she unpacked real quickly: “I’ll see you when you come home.”

LOL

lol I felt the exact same way I was like
This quote made me bust out laughing

Dominic West: When are they making the movie? That’s what I wanna know. We were desperately trying to get one together, but David said it would have to be a prequel—which is all right for the black guys. But whitey? You know whitey will need a bit of surgery to look younger than he did 10 years ago.

Great read
