I hated repeating myself. The last films I've done - not once did I ever have the feeling that I was dialing it in.

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!

I'm a pretty loyal guy with friends and family, I've had the same friends for a long time.

Life is a series of commas, not periods.
Matthew McConaughey
Image
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.

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.

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.

I do believe in God, but I think it's very healthy for a believer to spend time in the pragmatism of agnosticism, and I think God appreciates agnostics trying to make a science of it and going, I will not believe any further than that. I enjoy that kind of engineering mind. In no way did it ever feel blasphemous to me as a man of faith.

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.

One of the great pleasures of going to see a Daniel Day-Lewis film: you haven’t seen him in five years. Where have you been? So, it’s a special event, right? Well, if you want to go see a movie that I’m in, it still may be a special event for you, but, you don’t feel like you don’t know where I’ve been.

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.

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.

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.

I think I can keep a rhythm to a beat, but there are quite a few people who would argue with me.

Music is a really great creative tool for me, for different roles.

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.

I say to the paparazzi, 'Fellas, take your shot and go.' It's just they usually find me on a beach.
