Mark Wahlberg

“For me, family is everything. I am what I am today because of my mother.”

“If you're not willing to work hard, let someone else do it. I'd rather be with someone who does a mediocre job, but is a hard worker, than with a genius who is lazy.”

“I have a lot of real-life experience with hustling and scheming and talking my way into things.”

“I like to be home with my kids. It's my favorite thing to do.”

“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.”

“I want to give my kids the world, but I also want them to appreciate it.”

“I'm a grinder. I'm a hustler.”

“I never lie. I believe everything I say is true. I'm like a five-year-old.”

“Music is my first love.”

“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.”

“If I can start my day out by saying my prayers and getting myself focused, then I know I'm doing the right thing.”

“The only thing I don't like about acting is the waiting.”

“You have to go and entertain people. You have to bring it. It's not a hobby.”

“It's all about the work. Nothing is going to fall into your lap.”

“I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother... a good leader to those who look up to me.”

“There's a discipline to acting. You have to be a team player.”
