More quotes by Anthony Mackie
I'm happy to be an Avenger!
Anthony Mackie
Instead of becoming an engineer like my brother, I moved to New York to be an actor.
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
I just don't understand how people can get so caught up in having their picture taken.
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
Even though homelessness reaches into the depths of despair, there's also a pride and beauty in it, as well.
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
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
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
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.
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
I would love to be a superhero.
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
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.
Anthony Mackie
People don't come to Marvel movies for personal life subplots, no.
Anthony Mackie
Not too many people can say they love what they do and they really like the people they work with.
Anthony Mackie
If the acting don't work out, I'll have a future in construction.
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 not Josh Brolin or Ryan Gosling. They're more noir than I.
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.
