Man who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYMan who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYSo, 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 MCCONAUGHEYAt the same time, when I can go off with a backpack or off on a surfboard or even off on a run somewhere in the woods – that’s where I’m really happy.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYThere 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.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI’m a golfer, and what are the two sports you can do till you drop? Golf and surfing. They’re great for you limber-wise, they’re great for you health-wise, and they put you in sweet locations.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI’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.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI think I can keep a rhythm to a beat, but there are quite a few people who would argue with me.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI 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 MCCONAUGHEYI don’t know how to work a room. It’s a real skill.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI love Los Angeles, and it’s been very good to me, but if everyone is running around telling the stories, who’s living them?
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYRomcoms are hard in a lot of ways: they’re built to be buoyant. It’s easy to demean them.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYWhen someone bestows something on you, no matter how true it is, when someone says, ‘Sexiest Man Alive,’ I’m honestly going, ‘Thank you. Right on.’ For me, it’s never canceled out anything, it’s never made me go, ‘Does this make me less talented of an actor?’
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYYou don’t look them in the eye and stop. Half the time, you’re listening, half the time, you are ignoring them.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI’m for gay power, straight power, male power, female power; everybody should feel empowered without oppressing anyone who’s different.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYThere’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.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYWe have a big appetite for putting people down but, at the heart of everyone, there’s enough room for all of us to succeed.
