More quotes by 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 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
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
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
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
Instead of becoming an engineer like my brother, I moved to New York to be an actor.
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
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
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
If the acting don't work out, I'll have a future in construction.
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 was raised with a sense of entrepreneurship - my father owned a roofing business, and I grew up with the idea that you never want someone telling you what you can and cannot do.
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
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
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
You never see girls running after engineers.
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
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
I'm happy to be an Avenger!
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
