Donnie Wahlberg

“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.”

“A lot of kids do look up to us. But there are just as many elderly people to put us down.”

“In the end I'm the only one who knows me.”

“I'm a fan of good horror movies.”

“Look, we are a rock group. But you should see all those things in perspective. People tend to blow up everything into ridiculous proportions. And then the fun is gone real soon.”

“I love food shows: Anthony Bourdain, Iron Chef, Chopped, you name it.”

“I try to ground most of my characters in reality somehow. That's kind of what I bring to the table.”

“Producing suits me because I have a business mind and a business sensibility.”

“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.”

“For a Bostonian... we live in the shadow of New York, and to be acknowledged by New Yorkers is really the greatest feeling.”

“With the Internet, kids today learn things quicker than we do and they have everything there is to see, so you have to do more than just remake some old '70s film.”

“There's a real danger in doing a sequel. There are some benefits, but that all hinges on how well you execute. Quite frankly, most sequels don't execute well.”

“It doesn't matter to me if it has a surprise ending or not. I usually go for the material or the project.”

“I had to learn how to become a real actor, I had to suffer and be rejected and face that 100 times just like every actor. It wasn't like someone handed it to me.”

“I like being a leader in real life.”

“I'm very much a leader in a lot of the work that I do or that I've done in my career.”

“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.”
