“In my movies, I'm not trying to erase any old image of myself, really. And also …” — 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.

I never lie. I believe everything I say, so it's not a lie.

It's all about hustling, whether it's in Boston or the film industry. I've been hustling my entire life - acting my way into trouble and acting my way back out again. I'm just fortunate to have had the opportunity to apply it in a different direction.

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.
