More quotes by Anthony Mackie
For me, Christmas is about family, loving, forgiveness, compassion, understanding and comradery.
Anthony Mackie
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
One thing that I've been very vocal about roles I take, and my representation has been very smart about, is that I didn't go to Juilliard to be Thug #2 in movies. I like to be challenged. I'd say that about 40% of the roles I've done have been written for white men.
Anthony Mackie
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
Instead of becoming an engineer like my brother, I moved to New York to be an actor.
Anthony Mackie
Even though homelessness reaches into the depths of despair, there's also a pride and beauty in it, as well.

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
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 just don't understand how people can get so caught up in having their picture taken.
Anthony Mackie
Art-school girls are very nice.
Anthony Mackie
If the acting don't work out, I'll have a future in construction.
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.
Anthony Mackie
I was raised with a sense of entrepreneurship - my father owned a roofing business, and I grew up with the idea that you never want someone telling you what you can and cannot do.
Anthony Mackie
I went to school and made good grades and went to college. So I was afforded an opportunity through my parents' hard work that most people don't have.
Anthony Mackie
Acting is the only medium were people think they can just stand up and do it because they can say lines, but that is not so much the case. You have to study styles and techniques.
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
I'm not Josh Brolin or Ryan Gosling. They're more noir than I.
Anthony Mackie
I enjoy where I am and I don't have a problem with being Steve Buscemi, Stanley Tucci, Don Cheadle, or Jeffrey Wright. They're not the lead of every movie they're in, but every time you see them they're really good.
Anthony Mackie
I think you can only be outgoing when the person you're talking to is outgoing. I can be outgoing if I want to be, if you meet me halfway.
