More quotes by 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.

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
People don't come to Marvel movies for personal life subplots, no.
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'm not Josh Brolin or Ryan Gosling. They're more noir than I.
Anthony Mackie
I just don't understand how people can get so caught up in having their picture taken.

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.

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
Art-school girls are very nice.
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
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 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
You never see girls running after engineers.
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
There are a lot of limitations and stigmas that are placed on young actors, specifically young black actors.
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
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
Instead of becoming an engineer like my brother, I moved to New York to be an actor.
Anthony Mackie
I would love to be a superhero.
