Pet peeves: People who assume I'm a dope because of my accent. Yeah, I've got a thick Boston accent but that doesn't mean I've come straight outta the Irish mob or somethin'. I'm a smaht guy, and no, I don't pahk my cah in the Hahvahd yahd.

Three words to describe you: Smaht, calculating, tough.

What is your personal claim to fame? Passing the bar I'd say. It was tough, but we got through it, and I passed with flyin' colahs. Also graduating from law school. I literally had a professah tell me that because I sounded the way I did, people would take me less seriously, and that was frustratin'.

Who or what is your inspiration in life? My grandfather who came ovah from Northern Ireland. As a Catholic, he had to flee persecution and get here or he risked dyin'. It's because of him that I have the opportunity to do all the great stuff I've done.

If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why? A change of clothes because I hate when mine get dirty, donuts, because who doesn't love donuts, and

Which Survivor contestant are you the most like? Wardog. People are gonna think I'm this goofy mothaf**ka, but I'm really gonna be schemin' all the time, and you'd better watch out for me, because I'm not gonna be afraid to stab ya in the back.

What's your reason for being on Survivor? I'm a supahfan, and so I thought I had to get on here. I'm constantly screamin' at the TV when people make dumb moves. I'm smahtah than half the people you guys get on here, so I thought "why not?"

Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? People are gonna look at me and listen to me, and they're gonna think I'm a total dope. They're gonna underestimate me. I'm not tellin' anyone I'm a lawyah, because then I'll screw up the act. I'm just Marky, the dumb idiot from Boston.
