Zitat des Tages von Donnie Wahlberg:
When you grow up in a city like Boston, where I grew up, a lot of kids became criminals or cops. I never really had a bad take on cops other than I hate when there's one behind me on the highway.
In the end I'm the only one who knows me.
I try to ground most of my characters in reality somehow. That's kind of what I bring to the table.
Ultimately in the end, it's the director's choice.
Producing suits me because I have a business mind and a business sensibility.
We never really felt a real level of respect. The fame was fantastic, but that wasn't that important to me, because for every million people that loved me I focused on the one that hated me.
I like being a leader in real life.
It's not hard to keep up the image we chose. It's not hard to stay yourselves.
The food in Europe is pretty disappointing. I like fried chicken. But other than that Europe is great.
I wasn't exactly uncomfortable when I did my first comedy. I was just very aware of the risks; if you do a comedy that sucks, and you suck in it, then you won't get a chance to do it again.
It's rare that I come across actors who are willing to work as hard on the material as I am.
I go wild on a stage. Some folks have measured us an image. They pretend us to be saints. And that image is much tougher to keep up with. Because that's not who we are.
I love food shows: Anthony Bourdain, Iron Chef, Chopped, you name it.
We're entertainers, while people want us to be gods.
What's important is self-appreciation.
It doesn't matter to me if it has a surprise ending or not. I usually go for the material or the project.
A guest star is a whole different responsibility. It's much different than being a regular. You come in and it's a lot of unfamiliar faces and you want to try to fit in as best you can, but also you want to stay there without making waves.
In high school, I was one of the cofounders of New Kids on the Block my freshman year in high school. But I also started studying theatre in high school my freshman year as well. So throughout high school, I was actually doing both.
I wish I was a guy who could have pancakes and bacon and cheesy eggs, but I'd curl up and pass out. I gotta start healthy or I'll be off the rails all day.
I didn't have big movie offers, or any big agents wanting to work with me. I had to go grassroots, start at the bottom and go on 150 auditions before someone finally gave me a shot.
I'm a fan of good horror movies.
In my freshman year in high school, I went to the only public high school in Boston with a theatre program.
When New Kids became really successful, I got a lot of offers to do parts in movies and TV shows, but I was really busy, so I pretty much turned everything down. But I always knew it was something that I would eventually put some energy into.
