I’m getting rid of this idea that you want people to like you. I’m making decisions on what feels right to me. To act in a more carnal way. That’s my challenge. – 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
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’ve been lucky to work consistently on women who I think are interesting, fleshed out, and strong and active participants in their destiny. – Mackenzie Davis
Feminism is rooted in racial rights and gender rights, and all of those things intersect, and to say that that’s not something you can stand behind – it confuses me. I think it’s a really great word. – Mackenzie Davis
It was really unusual to go from being in university for four years to all of a sudden acting every day. I’d never been able to do it exclusively like that. It was always sort of like my secret thing that I did privately. – 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’m not a runner, and I always dreamed about just throwing on my sneakers and really knocking everyone’s socks off with my joy of traversing the world by foot. – 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 don’t just act to pay my rent. I really like doing it, so I get frustrated when I don’t get to do it all the time, so short films are a really great way to be doing it and working with your friends, working on smaller, more specific things without limiting yourself in other ways. – Mackenzie Davis
I always imagined that magically, at some point, I would settle into this very easy and refined sophistication, but it turns out that who you are at eleven is pretty much who you are at 27, so I don’t know how much I’ve learned over the years. – 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
Our relationships with our computers are almost sexual, they’re so close. They’re just such a huge part of our lives. – 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
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 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
I think – more than anything, I think I’d really like to start producing and be in charge of the stuff that I want to see in the world and the stuff that interests me. – 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 wear a lot of boyish stuff, but I prefer to throw a fur coat on top just for the hell of it. – 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
I just think ‘Broad City’ – Comedy Central’s answer to ‘Girls’ – is the best thing that’s been put on television in years. It’s amazing. – Mackenzie Davis
I went to theater school, and if I spent time with one school of thought in this whole acting game, it’s the Meisner approach of improvise-based acting. This does not mean that you improvise your acting, but that you focus on the other person. – Mackenzie Davis
I’m really aware of the conversations that surround young actresses in Hollywood. I always get myself into a hole with these conversations, and I get weirdly quoted, and I sound militant and like I’m not thankful at all, and I’m so thankful of everything that’s happening. But I’m an active observer of the machinations of this world. – Mackenzie Davis
I modeled for a little while in college. I was desperate to travel, and I got scouted, and they wanted me to go to Paris and London for six months. And I discovered that I hated it. I didn’t like the expectation to be pretty all the time. – Mackenzie Davis
