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

In the studio you can auto tune vocals, and with drums, you can put them on a grid and make them perfect. I hate that sound.
