More quotes by Matthew McConaughey
The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.
Matthew McConaughey
As an actor for hire, my job is to do some pre-production work for myself. Then my job is to show up and give the best performance I can.
Matthew McConaughey
I've been in a couple of weddings where the coolest people that were the most day before so mellow and then the day of the wedding freaking out.
Matthew McConaughey
See, 'A Time to Kill' was the one I got famous off of. Big ka-boom, over one weekend. After that, I did films that I really wanted to do.
Matthew McConaughey
Romantic comedies are built to be light. They're built for a certain buoyancy.
Matthew McConaughey
I like quips. I like whiffs of cynicism and I think they can be witty. But I don't really know where wittiness is constructive.
Matthew McConaughey
Hypocrites do the devil's drudgery in Christ's livery.
Matthew McConaughey
I want to thank God because that's who I look up. He's graced my life with opportunities. He's shown me that it's a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates.
Matthew McConaughey
Life is not fair, it never was and it is now and it won't ever be. Do not fall into the trap. The entitlement trap, of feeling like you're a victim. You are not.
Matthew McConaughey
Sure, I can get a little bit jealous. The good part about jealousy is that it comes from passion. It's also the dangerous part and it's an ugly emotion that hurts.
Matthew McConaughey
Every hero doesn't do this great big hero thing. They do the simple thing over and over... and they stick to it.
Matthew McConaughey
If happiness is what you’re after, then you are going to be let down frequently and be unhappy much of your time. Joy, though, is something else. It’s not a choice, not a response to some result, it is a constant. Joy is “the feeling we have from doing what we are fashioned to do,” no matter the outcome.
Matthew McConaughey
They eat, they crap, they sleep, and if they're crying they need to do one of the three and they're having trouble doing it. Real simple.
Matthew McConaughey
I love it. It's silly to say that it is a world of false and stupid people. Sure there are witches and swindlers, but you can meet there many creative, talented and generous persons too. Hollywood is a pleasant place, when you are hip to the game and you enjoy it for what it is really.
Matthew McConaughey
Give thanks. Appreciate what you DO have ... the more we give thanks, the more we receive to be thankful for. Gratitude is the gift that always gives back.
Matthew McConaughey
Maybe the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.
Matthew McConaughey
I don’t dabble and spend much mind or time dealing with, I don’t know, people’s perceptions of me. I truly don’t.
Matthew McConaughey
I like the 'Alive' part. Now I've made it. Wait until you see the roles I could take after this. You're going to see my gut hanging over, plus 22lbs. It'll be a whole new kind of sexy!
Matthew McConaughey
I tell myself I bear witness. The real answer is that it's obviously my programming. And I lack the constitution for suicide.
Matthew McConaughey
I love good film, whether it's an independent or studio film. The independent films, I think the good ones aren't necessarily eccentric ones but they're the more specific ones.
Matthew McConaughey
