The law says you cannot touch, but I see a lot of lawbreakers up in this house.
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
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.

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

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
I only pick one thing North, South, East or West. I just get on the road and go. That's the point. The only governor I give myself is what's the time limit.

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.
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
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
If you can be mentally stimulated by the workout and find out how to get through it, it's more fun.
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
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.

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
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.
Matthew McConaughey
Bringing a baby into the world is something I've always wanted, and now I'm completely ready for my life to start revolving around another human being.
Matthew McConaughey
I've been in a couple of weddings where the coolest people that were the most day before so mellow and then the day of the wedding freaking out.
Matthew McConaughey
I don’t dabble and spend much mind or time dealing with, I don’t know, people’s perceptions of me. I truly don’t.
Matthew McConaughey
We dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success.
Matthew McConaughey
I was raised on, 'You go get a nine-to-five job, earn your pay and work your way up.
