Matthew McConaughey
If you can be mentally stimulated by the workout and find out how to get through it, it's more fun.
Matthew McConaughey
I'm a golfer, and what are the two sports you can do till you drop? Golf and surfing. They're great for you limber-wise, they're great for you health-wise, and they put you in sweet locations.
Matthew McConaughey
My father – who I know is up there right now, with a big pot of gumbo, he’s got a lemon meringue pie, he’s probably in his underwear, and he’s got a cold can of Miller Lite – and he’s dancing.
Matthew McConaughey

Each of the films, whether it’s Magic Mike or Dallas Buyers Club, was a challenge for me. I had to dig deeper. Also, my decision to shake things up came after my first child was born. I had taken nearly two years off and I thought that I would enjoy my time as a dad and wait until something interesting came along.
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
Absolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.
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
My experience in work, even going to work with Scorsese, is that people always think there's some magic trick. There's no magic trick. The people who are really good at what they do do simple things really, really well.
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
Traveling is a great love of mine. I love South America and Africa. I'm your ultimate backpacker when I'm away. It's just me and my backpack. It's good for getting away from the industry.
Matthew McConaughey
I don't know how to work a room. It's a real skill.
Matthew McConaughey
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
