I’m a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI’m a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYYou don’t play characters that are celebrities – you play guys who know what to do when their septic tank’s blocked.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYThere are a whole bunch of roles where people say, ‘Oh, you’re playing yourself.’ I guess it’s kind of a compliment.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYThe best advice comes from people who don’t give advice.
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 MCCONAUGHEYIt’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.’
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYLife is a series of commas, not periods.
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’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 MCCONAUGHEYI 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.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI will say this: one of the things that is a pain when you’re expecting children is how much advice unsolicited people give you when you’re not asking for it.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI’ve read a lot of really great characters in some really crappy stories, where I said, like, ‘Boy I could shine here, but the story sucks.’ I don’t want to be part of that.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYMy last name is originally Irish. I’m not exactly sure whereabouts it’s from, but I’ve got family branches that were traced back there.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYMy number one thing? Don’t overleverage yourself.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYMusic is a really great creative tool for me, for different roles.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYYou 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.
