“We tend to rewrite the histories of technological innovation, making myths about a guy who had a great idea that changed the world. In reality, though, innovation isn’t the goal; it’s everything that gets you there.”

“We’re probably leaving money on the table. But we’re also leaving complexity on the table. And complexity is like a leak in your roof. It starts small. But over time, it does real damage. And once that damage has begun, it’s hard to stop. Best not to let it in in the first place.”

“Here is something truly remarkable about The Wire: it had more gay characters than most of the shows on TV before or since. It had more gay main characters than Will & Grace! Omar Little, Kima Greggs, Detective Rawls, and Snoop are all gay characters—whether openly or not—and their personas are refreshingly removed from typical television representations of LGBT characters. None of them could be described as “the gay one”; they are all given dynamic and realistic portrayals that never rely on sexual orientation as a crutch. Omar Little is routinely cited as everyone’s—even President Obama’s!—favorite character, a remarkable achievement when you consider the discomfort many Americans still have with homosexuality.

The Wire was able to express a truth that our society continues to struggle with: gay people are just people, good and bad. That is a remarkable achievement for a show that doesn’t explicitly count sexual orientation among its many social themes.”
