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.

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 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.
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
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
The law says you cannot touch, but I see a lot of lawbreakers up in this house.
Matthew McConaughey
Absolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.
Matthew McConaughey
I've been wanting to have my own family since I was young. It just took me a while to find the perfect woman.
