More quotes by Mark Wahlberg
I approach a comedy the same way I do a drama. I try to make it as real as possible.
Mark Wahlberg
I love movies that are challenging to me both physically and emotionally and that I have to take a lot of time leading up to it to get into that headspace and live in that headspace throughout the course of the production.
Mark Wahlberg
As soon as I ended up being incarcerated, I said, you know, this is not the life for me.
Mark Wahlberg
I approach everything the same. I try to make it as real as possible, whether you gotta make people laugh or make people cry, it's always the same approach for me. But if I start doing pratfalls, somebody please pull the plug on me.
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'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
Well every moment, every project is different. I took a very slow approach to acting, trying to really work with people I could learn from. And I got something different out of each experience.
Mark Wahlberg
I grew up in predominantly black neighborhoods and went to predominantly black schools. And hip-hop is what I grew up listening to in my teenage years. Basically I'm just being myself.
Mark Wahlberg
For Michael [Bay] and I [ Transformers: The Last Knight ] is our third movie so we're quite familiar with each other and know where to push each other and bring the best out of each other. But I'm definitely not as young as I used to be, that's the biggest difference.
Mark Wahlberg
It's funny, because when you're younger you're in a rush to be 18 or 21 or whatever. But then you hit 30. And now, the days go by like hours. You think, 40, man, this could be the halfway point. It could be the three-quarters point, you know? Who knows?
Mark Wahlberg
And I tell you, having girls has made me a much better man. I have friends who are fathers, but they only have boys, and they have the same attitude toward women they always had, you know? And I don't play that... My girls, you mess with them? I will bury you underground.
Mark Wahlberg
You have to take everything I say with a grain of salt.
Mark Wahlberg
I embrace old age. Look, I'm never going to dunk on LeBron James, and I've learned to accept that. I got a pretty good life, and I'm very fortunate, and I have my blessings.
Mark Wahlberg
I like to talk to people. I've got one assistant, one Blackberry. That's my overhead. I don't text that much or email. I like to sit down face-to-face and have a conversation with you. I'm old-fashioned.
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
Even my going back to school was to inspire young people that it's never too late to education. That's all I can do, and try to be the best father and husband that I can be.
Mark Wahlberg
I can always see something of myself in the characters I play.
Mark Wahlberg
I want people to come see my films and enjoy them but at the end of the day you can't control what people think.
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
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.
