Trivia and Quotes

Quotes
  • 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.
