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

Instead of becoming an engineer like my brother, I moved to New York to be an actor.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm happy to be an Avenger!

I'm not Josh Brolin or Ryan Gosling. They're more noir than I.

Not too many people can say they love what they do and they really like the people they work with.
