More quotes by 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 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'm happy to be an Avenger!
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
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.

For me, Christmas is about family, loving, forgiveness, compassion, understanding and comradery.

What was funny, going to the gym, you see all these guys who are just massive. There's no way a person can naturally get that way. In the gym, you meet these guys and you talk to them, and everybody's really willing and open to explain to you what cycle they're on and to help you get on it.

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 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
I would love to be a superhero.
Anthony Mackie
I haven't been able to grasp the concept of putting your life on the line for whatever reason people go into the military for. Some people just want to pay their bills, some people believe in their country and some people do it because their parents did it, but that's rough.
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
Art-school girls are very nice.
Anthony Mackie
You never see girls running after engineers.
Anthony Mackie
There are a lot of limitations and stigmas that are placed on young actors, specifically young black actors.
Anthony Mackie
I work out every day just to keep in shape. I feel like I never want to get stuck in a position where when you need somebody with great arms, you call Anthony Mackie. That hasn't been the calling card for my career, and nor do I want it to be.
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
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
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.
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.
