I have some good friends of my own who happen to be gay, and when it comes to gay, straight, or whatever, I'm for anything life-affirmative. I'm for gay power, straight power, male power, female power; everybody should feel empowered without oppressing anyone who's different.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
There are a whole bunch of roles where people say, 'Oh, you're playing yourself.' I guess it's kind of a compliment. Or people say, 'Oh, man, you just roll out of bed and do that.' The work is to make it look effortless. That's the hard part.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
My wife and I don't compete. We know each other's preferences, and we work to provide those for each other. One will take over when the other is faced with something he or she dislikes. That's what friends do.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
The challenge for me as an actor is if you become a celebrity, you don't meet strangers anymore. And strangers are where we have our anonymity. And I believe it's essential for the soul to be anonymous, especially if you're going to be an actor.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
I'm one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life. With every place I go, I try to stay there long enough to do it justice, long enough so that I can at least imagine what it would be like to live there. Once I imagine that, then it's OK for me to return home.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
Any artist, the work you do, if it's a painting or if it's a performance, you hope it translates to a common denominator with the people that they see something in their own life in there. Or they see something in somebody else's life. That's what's fun about sharing art.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
In whatever adulation you get, there's truth and there's not truth. And wherever they dog you, and they say it was horrible - there's truth and there's not truth. It's human nature to like to read the adulation more.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
Even as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets. I didn't want anybody's name on my backside. I personally don't like to wear clothing that is named for somebody or has someone's likeness all over it.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
When you have good friends you've been around, every time they talk, you don't give them your full attention. You don't look them in the eye and stop. Half the time, you're listening, half the time, you are ignoring them.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
I think the discipline comes with turning that cellphone and Blackberry off and unplugging completely. You do that and you go through some withdrawals in the beginning. You start thinking, 'Oh, do I need to do this? Do I need to do that?' You forget that we were doing just fine with the payphone.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
I don't dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it's gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin' White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It's connected to where you are today.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
I like to be able to wear something that is appropriate for wherever the day takes me: to work, on a hike and then out to dinner. I like to take the formality out of the day's schedule and be ready for any off-road detour.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
I know when I grew up, it was, if it was daylight outside, get outside. Well, now, with the technological age of computers and everything, everyone's inside virtually going everywhere they want to go, virtually having relationships, virtually traveling across the neighborhood, virtually going to that island.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art. There are no rules. And if it comes down to me versus that weed I'm trying to pull out of the ground that doesn't want to come out? I know I'll win.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
There's a gap between what I want to do, what I do on camera, and what gets edited. Right? So the goal is to try and close the gaps. What's the biggest compliment is if I read a review and it's exactly what I wrote down in my diary before ever filming it. That's really cool. That's the biggest signifier of closing the gaps.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
Man who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
There's a difference in thinking you are a champion and knowing that you are.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
There aren't many things that are universally cool, and it's cool not to litter. I'd never do it.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
I've never been a jealous person, and I've never felt built up by someone else's failure - that's a cheap thrill.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
It's not a science when you are judging art, but we'd be remiss to say you can't look at something and say, 'This is more well done than that.'
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
I say to the paparazzi, 'Fellas, take your shot and go.' It's just they usually find me on a beach.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
You want to be a writer? Start writing. You want to be a filmmaker? Start shooting stuff on your phone right now.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
I don't want to just revolve. I want to evolve. As a man, as a human, as a father, as a lover.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
What the heck is true love? I remember feeling, back when I was 12 and 'going' with this girl, 'Is this true love?'
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
There's two sorts of fear: one you embrace and one you should listen to and turn the other way.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
The unsaid rule for living in a trailer park is: 'If the door's shut, don't come a-knockin.' But if it's open and you're walkin' by, feel free to say, 'Hello.'
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
When I'm surfing, I'm sure not thinking about the paparazzi. I guess if they start getting on floaties and coming out there in the water, then I might be a little upset.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
I was raised on, 'You go get a nine-to-five job, earn your pay and work your way up.'
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
I always wanted to be a father and thought it would be great, but it just took the right woman and the right time to make it all happen.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Matthew McConaughey
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.
