Explanation:
If it is a direct quote, it is supposed to be as genuine as possible, that is, the essence of what was said by that particular person must be kept, and that includes not only what was said, but also how it was said- errors and all.
Eg: Let's say you want to quote Joker (played by Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight") and you write:
As said by Joker: "Why <u>are you</u> so serious?"

As said by Joker: "Why so serious?"
