More quotes by Anthony Mackie
Art-school girls are very nice.
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.

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.

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
People don't come to Marvel movies for personal life subplots, no.
Anthony Mackie
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
Even though homelessness reaches into the depths of despair, there's also a pride and beauty in it, as well.
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
I'm a firm believer in people who love what they do.
Anthony Mackie
I would love to be a superhero.

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
As actors, the great thing about our career is we get to change from role to role. I don't want to be known as put him in the movie because he has nice abs guy.
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.
