Felicia (Felecia?) Pearson, the woman behind the wildest most-intriguing character on TV, hitgirl Snoop on The Wire, came out this week with a memoir called Grace after Midnight. We haven’t had the honor of peeping it yet (G-C publishing, send us a copy already!) but the stories in that book are sure to be the real stuff that the people behind The Wire have tapped into and why it’s one of the best shows ever about topics that have otherwise been buried under nuclear-war-safe Yuka Mountain-size loads of cliche.

Awhile back, the big fans at Fader did a Q&A with Pearson. This is our favorite section:

Are you from the area where they film the show?
Yes sir, right in it, right where they film it in the hood.

Do people recognize you now?
Yes sir.

Do they treat you differently?
No, because they are people, they don’t play with me. I’m just the same old person, I don’t act different or nothing like that, I mean some family members come and put their hand out like I got millions or something like that, but you know family always have the tendency to get on your nerves.

Weekend recommends: The memoir and all five seasons of The Wire, download or dvd. Don’t answer the phone. No need to get dressed. Everybody at your house has to be watching or reading. Drinks start only after six pee emm.

ps: Can we decide (HBO uh and uh) how we’re spelling girlfriend’s name?
