'Breathe In' was such a big deal for me. It was my first anything. Before that, I was going through 'Backstage Magazine' and applying for student films.

More quotes by Mackenzie Davis
Acting was always something I pursued by myself. When we were in college, I took an acting class that I was so passionate about and devoted to, but I went to it privately and never really spoke about it. I'd have these ecstatic experiences in, like, a church basement and then never talk about it with other people.
Mackenzie Davis
I was imagining a long life of being a stone cold loser. Then I got a job, which was really nice, then I got a great agent, a great manager, which was really nice. I was doing a lot of set ups, and, you know, I got to start working in L.A.
Mackenzie Davis
I've just sort of jumped into relationships and moved in with people way too soon.
Mackenzie Davis
When I was younger, I wanted to guard myself against criticism, so I did so much more work than was needed. Now, though, it's sometimes better to understand something intuitively than have to dig your way into a character.
Mackenzie Davis
I dream of not having access to technology. I think it's a very wonderful time that we have found ourselves in, in terms of access to information, but alone time is better for some personalities than others. And I would very gladly give it up. I think I'd do very well.
Mackenzie Davis
How you choose to present yourself to the world shows what's meaningful to you - and what you want others to think is meaningful to you.
Mackenzie Davis
I'm probably less volatile and tempestuous than a lot of Aries, but I think I'm probably quite loud and outgoing and passionate. Maybe a bit difficult or stubborn.
Mackenzie Davis
I've been really lucky that I've been exposed to a lot of lovely, talented people who are not jerks and I would like to continue that streak.
Mackenzie Davis
If I had criteria, it would just be that I want to play active people who can solve problems, not people who have things thrust in their lap and need somebody to solve their problems for them.
Mackenzie Davis
I'm always surprised when actors say they don't like sex scenes. It's like a freebie. It's fun to make out with someone. So yes, thumbs up on that.
Mackenzie Davis
One of the reasons I don't do social media is that I like the feeling that if somebody asks me for a picture on the street, I don't have to say yes.
Mackenzie Davis
I went to Europe and, as I've been told, ate my way out of a career.
Mackenzie Davis
I fall in love with something and wear it every day until it's destroyed. My most treasured items have a very short shelf life because I love them too much.
Mackenzie Davis
I wanted to be Beetlejuice. I watched nonstop 'Beetlejuice' and 'The Princess Bride' growing up.
Mackenzie Davis
I don't want to be precious or weird . It's lovely to be recognized by people who like your work, and it's not as if I've done a Marvel movie. People say that with great power comes great responsibility, but it's more like shitty things will happen if you take certain jobs.
Mackenzie Davis
It's pretty rare that I watch a movie now without seeing the script in a way that I hate, where I can see the stage directions and the choices that the actors are making.
Mackenzie Davis
As a viewer, I'm personally less interested in the damaged, white, middle-class male figuring out his dreams and more interested in maybe an underdog figuring out how they're going to survive in a world that doesn't necessarily invite them in.
Mackenzie Davis
I love Thanksgiving. In Canada, we don't really have a lot of history with Thanksgiving, and it's a holiday devoted to food, and that warms the cockles of my being.
Mackenzie Davis
I have taxidermy pets that are very close to me. I have a little lizard with a head that comes on and off that I call Nicolas Cage because his face is long. And I have a big diamondback rattlesnake called Rufus, and I have some rats in jars and stuff.
Mackenzie Davis
A weird thing about being an actress is that shooting movies doesn't feel like watching movies. It feels like being in a warehouse.
