I would love to be a superhero.

Everybody knows when you've got a role in a Spike Lee movie, you're gonna blow up. But I happen to be the only person who's had the lead in the two Spike Lee movies nobody saw.
Anthony Mackie
Most of the time when you see a movie, the best character in the movie is not the guy, it's the guy next to the guy.
Anthony Mackie
There are a lot of limitations and stigmas that are placed on young actors, specifically young black actors.
Anthony Mackie
Hollywood's a business, and until someone puts their finger on you and decides you're the guy who's going to carry that movie, it's not going to happen.
Anthony Mackie
You never see girls running after engineers.
Anthony Mackie
I did this movie with Spike Lee called Sucker Free City, and that would have to be my favorite role by far. It was just so much fun to work with Spike and shoot in San Francisco.

When I was in high school, I read the whole thing about Don King and he had this quote that said, Set yourself on fire and the world will pay to watch you burn. I thought that was the most amazing thing I'd ever heard and I wrote it on my wall.

Practice your improv more than learn your lines. 'Cause there's no way you'll be able to learn all those lines in a short time. You have to realize what you know and what you don't know - and what you don't know, just come up with three alternate lines or improv that you can put in that spot.
Anthony Mackie
With all the movies I've done, I still get recognized from my episode of 'Law & Order' more than anything else. It never fails.
Anthony Mackie
It's because the idea of what's cool is different. When you talk to a girl who goes to regular school, what's cool is whether or not you've been to jail, or if you have a car. If you talk to a girl who goes to art school, what's cool to her is if you do art projects on the weekend with your dad, if you can build something - out-of-the-norm stuff.
Anthony Mackie
In New Orleans, where I'm from, the average household income, with two working parents, two kids, a dog and a little fence is $16,000 a year, so $15,000 for a movie sounds pretty good.
Anthony Mackie
Do you want to be an actor, or do you want to be a celebrity? I made that decision when I went to Juilliard. I wanted to be an actor. So, if I get the opportunity to be an actor and do some cool, fun and interesting projects, I’m going to do that.
Anthony Mackie
I'm not Josh Brolin or Ryan Gosling. They're more noir than I.
Anthony Mackie
I'm a firm believe that a man looks his best in a suit and I feel like in the late 40's people just dressed up to do everything.
Anthony Mackie
Not too many people can say they love what they do and they really like the people they work with.
Anthony Mackie
I'm a firm believer in people who love what they do.
Anthony Mackie
Playing somebody who's real, you can bring all kind of nuances and things to him that you get from source material and things like that, but the more popular or known the person is, the more impossible it is. To get it right, that is the goal.

I'm happy to be an Avenger!
