I don’t plan on ever letting my daughters date. I’m going to try to do everything I can to prevent it. You know, it just terrifies me. It just terrifies me. – Mark Wahlberg
I don’t go to Mass every day. But I go to church every day. Just sitting there, thinking – it’s a great way to start the morning, you know? You feel so good coming out, and your approach to everything is suddenly really clear. – Mark Wahlberg
I have a lot of real life experience that I can draw on. And I think that shows in the characters that I play because I’m always trying to find somebody – or find characters to play that I can identify with on a personal level or relate to. And I think it makes for a little bit more of an honest portrayal. – 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’m always friendly and encouraging on set. I want people to be at their best creatively. – Mark Wahlberg
I did a lot of things that I regretted and I certainly paid for my mistakes. You have to go and ask for forgiveness and it wasn’t until I really started doing good and doing right, by other people as well as myself, that I really started to feel that guilt go away. So I don’t have a problem going to sleep at night. – Mark Wahlberg
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. – Mark Wahlberg
I don’t wanna hear nobody complain that they’re getting paid all this money and people won’t leave them alone. It’s part of it. – Mark Wahlberg
When I was a rapper, the groupies didn’t have to try too hard with me. Just show up at the hotel. – 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
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
As far as I’m concerned, there’s no job more important on the planet than being a mom. – Mark Wahlberg
I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother, an uncle, a good neighbor, a good leader to those who look up to me, a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing. – 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
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
Growing up, I think I was arrested 20-odd times by the Boston police. The good news is that I’ve been able to use those experiences in a lot of my roles, and that has been a blessing. – 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 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
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
I love being on sets with very seasoned directors as well as very new directors. Every time is a discovery process. You learn something new every time. – Mark Wahlberg
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. – 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
