Zitat des Tages von Mark Wahlberg:
I've always wanted to do right in life. But the wanting and the doing aren't quite the same thing.
The world is very different today than it was in 1968.
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.
A lot of talented actors still have to pay their bills.
You know, there's nothing like seeing the smile on my kids' faces. Laughing together. Playing. It's the best.
James Cagney, Steve McQueen, I loved all those guys. I grew up loving the movies but had no desire to be in them.
Women don't get the credit they deserve.
For me, family always comes first; I would do anything to protect them.
The first thing I do when I start my day is, I get down on my hands and knees and give thanks to God. Whenever I go outside of my house, the first thing I do is stop at the church.
I never lie. I believe everything I say, so it's not a lie.
I've always been into working out and eating healthy. That's just who I am.
Clooney is just a pretty boy, man, and that's it, OK? I carried him on my back long enough. I'm on my own.
Immortality... Is that a super power?
There's nothing like seeing the smile on my kids' faces. Laughing together. Playing. It's the best.
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.
He's a legend and I respect his work, so I went down and paid my respects when Charlton was on the set. He was nice but I think he lied a little. He said it was an honour to be in a movie with me, but I don't believe it.
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.
If I succeed in business but fail as a father, then I've failed.
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.
Being fit is almost as important to me as my face. And for me, it's a combination of being spiritually and physically fit. There are guys who want to look good, and there are guys who want to perform at their best. Being fit is about being able to perform at your best, not necessarily just looking your best.
I've been in enough movies to know that when you're on the set and you start shooting, you're looking at playback and you get a sense of what it's going to be like.
When I was a rapper, the groupies didn't have to try too hard with me. Just show up at the hotel.
Being a Catholic is the most important aspect of my life.
I have more money now than I know what to do with.
A lot of people tend to chew up the scenery. I'm a firm believer in less is more, especially on the big screen.
Tiger Woods is the only sports star who's worth every penny he makes.
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.
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.
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.
Look, if you're driving down the highway at 120 miles an hour, I'd rather be behind the wheel than in the backseat.
I've always wanted to be in the health and wellness business. I try to encourage people to live a healthy lifestyle.
I never got on the course with my dad, but to be playing golf with my kids - that's a dream.
If I don't go to mass, necessarily, every day, but I definitely go to the church every day. That's how I start my day. I like to get in there for about 15 to 20 minutes and say my prayers.
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.
I'm fortunate that my job gives me the motivation to be as fit as possible. I wound up in a profession that requires physical and mental preparation, so I get to prepare like an athlete for everything I do. I'm living the dream, man.
I can always see something of myself in the characters I play.
