Personal Quotes
On his role as Carcetti in _The Wire (2002)_: We follow Carcetti's
journey as a minor player in city politics to a major contender in a
mayoral election. He was a young guy who was considered an upstart, who
saw an opportunity to do something, maybe effect some change. We see him
open up and develop a conscience. I hope he's not just coming across as
smarm. I'd say he's flawed, but driven.
I'm always attracted to bold, risk-taking scripts. Both The Wire
and Queer as Folk had a big scope. They were panoramas, telling
ambitious stories about two cities, Baltimore and Manchester, for the
first time. Some people said that Queer as Folk was sensationalist and
had too much sex. The real mayor of Baltimore complained that The Wire
was too bleak. But they're missing the point. Both David Simon and
Russell T Davies obviously loved the worlds they were writing about.
In drama you can either pretend everything is OK, or you can show the world as it really is in the hope that it gets better.
People say The Wire's bleak, y'know, but I see it as a love letter
to Baltimore, and it's one written in a very strange and complex way.
