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.

More quotes by Mark Wahlberg
Well, I would love it if they could take all the guns away. Unfortunately, you can't do that so you hope that good people in the world have them to protect the people who can't protect themselves.
Mark Wahlberg
A lot of people tend to chew up the scenery. I'm a firm believer in less is more, especially on the big screen.
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 don't enjoy doing nothing or sitting in my trailer watching ESPN.
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
I've got a pretty wide range of stuff that I'm interested in in life. But producing... it gives me a lot more time at home to spend with my family as opposed to being away on location shooting nights for months at a time.
Mark Wahlberg
Justin Bieber is like the white Tupac. Compared to a lot of people.
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 you're producing a movie you're involved in every aspect of the movie and that can be daunting and then going and doing a movie where you're just an actor for hire, and you can kind of sit back and giggle where you can see somebody sitting over there wasting time and wasting money.
Mark Wahlberg
I was excited about getting my first tattoo, but I was only twelve, so I had to hide it from my mother.
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
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
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
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
I do understand that going out and promoting the movie is a big responsibility, and part of the reason they give me the job in the first place.
Mark Wahlberg
For me, family always comes first I would do anything to protect them.
Mark Wahlberg
It's ridiculous that people call me a sex symbol. I don't feel like that at all. My daughter would get a kick out of it - she'd find it very funny. I'll take it though. I'm very humble. But it's certainly not the way I feel.
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
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 don't think God's going to judge me based on my film work - although I hope he has a sense of humour and I hope he's a fan of movies because I've done some things that may be questionable in his eyes as an actor!
