More quotes by Mark Wahlberg
I prepare mentally and physically for everything I do. I like having to do both, because you submerge yourself into the character and the world and you live it until it's over.
Mark Wahlberg
Look, if you're driving down the highway at 120 miles an hour, I'd rather be behind the wheel than in the backseat.
Mark Wahlberg
I've always wanted to do right in life. But the wanting and the doing aren't quite the same thing.
Mark Wahlberg
There's a lot a great television nowadays.
Mark Wahlberg
When you go into a starring position and you're carrying a movie, it's important that people like it. So I only do things that I can connect with in some sort of way, or that I can identify with.
Mark Wahlberg
If I can start my day out by saying my prayers and getting myself focused, then I know I'm doing the right thing. That 10 minutes helps me in every way throughout the day.
Mark Wahlberg
Movies have kind of become a tad bit uninspired, in that the big studio movies are spending more money to chase the big money with all these franchises and superhero movies. Some of them have been great, but some of them are a little tiresome.
Mark Wahlberg
The success of 'The Fighter' made it a lot easier to get 'Broken City' green-lit. And the buzz about 'The Fighter' also made it a lot easier to get 'Contraband' green-lit.
Mark Wahlberg
I've always looked at my career as an athlete would look at his: I won't play forever. Some don't know when to walk away, but the smart ones do.
Mark Wahlberg
I always try to bring a little bit of my own personality to the character, or some sort of personal connection makes it a little bit more of an organic portrayal and the audience can kind of maybe believe it a little bit more. But I always look for something to kind of connect with and identify with, or bring something of myself to the table.
Mark Wahlberg
James Cagney, Steve McQueen, I loved all those guys. I grew up loving the movies but had no desire to be in them.
Mark Wahlberg
I just want to do the best possible job with everything that I do. But I'm far more concerned with being a good father as opposed to being a good actor because that's what's really going to matter.
Mark Wahlberg
I also like to get out there to promote a positive message about the importance of family and faith and of doing the right thing.
Mark Wahlberg
Every time I do a movie, I'm reading the script, or if it's something I have coming up, I'm reading the script, and I just spend hours and hours and days and weeks and months going over the script and just writing a lot of different ideas down, finding a little dialogue or just coming up with ideas for scenes and moments and all that kind of stuff.
Mark Wahlberg
If I am awarded a pardon for my philanthropic work, great if not, I will continue to be involved in the community and to work just as hard, if not harder, to prevent kids from going down the same road and making the same mistakes.
Mark Wahlberg
But no, I'm not political. My obligation is to pull the lever and elect somebody who's going to make life a little better for everybody, especially those who don't have as much good fortune as others.
Mark Wahlberg
I work as hard as anybody will ever work and I like that. That's why I've been successful and that is when I feel good about myself. If I do my damnedest and don't succeed, I feel good about the effort.
Mark Wahlberg
I'm much more concerned with being a good dad than a good actor, being there for my children, educating them and hopefully helping them avoid some of the mistakes that I've made.
Mark Wahlberg
My sons and I thoroughly enjoy Legos. We go to the toy store every week for more. I never want to take what we build apart I want to put it on a shelf. My wife is starting to get a little annoyed with the Legos lying around.
Mark Wahlberg
I see a guy getting old. I try to not look in the mirror too much.
