More quotes by 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.

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.

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
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.
