More quotes by 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
I'm a firm believer in people who love what they do.
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.

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
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.
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 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 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
Even though homelessness reaches into the depths of despair, there's also a pride and beauty in it, as well.
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
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
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
I'm happy to be an Avenger!
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
There are a lot of limitations and stigmas that are placed on young actors, specifically young black actors.
Anthony Mackie
I'm not Josh Brolin or Ryan Gosling. They're more noir than I.
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
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
For me, Christmas is about family, loving, forgiveness, compassion, understanding and comradery.

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.
