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

Most of my movies are indies. The best scripts I can find are independent films. But I love big-budget movies, I love craft services!

For me, Christmas is about family, loving, forgiveness, compassion, understanding and comradery.

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.

careers work-out cards
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.

As actors, the great thing about our career is we get to change from role to role. I don't want to be known as "put him in the movie because he has nice abs" guy.
kings wall school
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 love what I do. If I have the opportunity to do what I do with people I admire, it's 10 times better.

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