More quotes by Matthew McConaughey
I'm a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.
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
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.
Matthew McConaughey
Man who invented the hamburger was smart man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius.

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
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
I know who I am. And after all these years, there's a victory in that.
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
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
I’m a fan of the word selfish. Self. Ish. When I say I have gotten a lot more self-ish, I mean I am less concerned with what people think of me. I’m not worried about how I’m perceived. Selfish has always gotten a bad rap. You should do for you.
Matthew McConaughey
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew McConaughey
We dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success.
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
The law says you cannot touch, but I see a lot of lawbreakers up in this house.
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
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
