More quotes by 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
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
Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you get good at.
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 think I can keep a rhythm to a beat, but there are quite a few people who would argue with me.
Matthew McConaughey
I'm a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.

Having children has helped me become a better actor because they remind you to play make believe. It's the ease and naturalness of their beings. They just play and it's completely real for them at the time. As an actor, if we do it well, we make you believe.

I like to customize things. I customized the back of old Lincoln to be my mobile office. I had one of those little laptop desks like in a police car, and I had a cooler in there, so that was my mobile office.

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
Call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Matthew McConaughey
It's one of the things I love about making films: the places I've got to travel that I would never have gone to before.
Matthew McConaughey
I love Los Angeles, and it's been very good to me, but if everyone is running around telling the stories, who's living them? You don't play characters that are celebrities - you play guys who know what to do when their septic tank's blocked.
Matthew McConaughey
For me, one of the toughest things about Valentine's Day is that it gets geared up as the day to profess your love. See, T-E-S-T - that's a bad word that doesn't go with L-O-V-E.
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 believe in living in the present and making each day count. I don't pay much attention to the past or the future.
Matthew McConaughey
Now, you lose something in your life, or you come into a conflict, and there's gonna come a time that you're gonna know: There was a reason for that. And at the end of your life, all the things you thought were periods, they turn out to be commas. There was never a full stop in any of it.
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
Try not to make a straight line crooked.

A foolish man... built his house upon the sand.

Life is not a popularity contest. Take the hill, but first answer the question: What is my hill?.
