Anthony Anderson's Quotes

• [2006, on The Departed (2006)] Working with [Martin Scorsese] is a dream come true and we're just having a ball, Just how he commands a set . . . But we are staying true to the original film. We shot in New York for a couple of months, and then we've been in Boston the last three weeks, and then we're coming back to New York through the first week of September. So it's just a nice ride right now.
• Independent films are where you really get to cut your teeth and have some fun and do the things that mainstream Hollywood doesn't want to do.
• Set your heights more than what you see around you, see beyond.
• Be ready for when your time comes, you will have that window of opportunity, so seize the moment and capitalize on it.
• Leo (Leonardo DiCaprio) couldn't deliver Mr. Martin Scorsese his Oscar with The Aviator (2004), but I will go on record to say I will do so with The Departed (2006).
