I don’t want to just revolve. I want to evolve. As a man, as a human, as a father, as a lover.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI don’t want to just revolve. I want to evolve. As a man, as a human, as a father, as a lover.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI don’t choose to insulate myself in engaging in real life. Hence, the public kind of almost knows me as much through my real life that they see through the rag mags.
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.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYThere aren’t many things that are universally cool, and it’s cool not to litter. I’d never do it.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYIf you can be mentally stimulated by the workout and find out how to get through it, it’s more fun.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYWhen 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.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYMy number one thing? Don’t overleverage yourself.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYNow, 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.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYMy 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.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYSee, ‘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.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI say to the paparazzi, ‘Fellas, take your shot and go.’ It’s just they usually find me on a beach.
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.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYStarting at about, I guess, forever, I’ve always looked forward to getting older. When I was 14, I couldn’t wait to be 16 and get a driver’s license.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYYou 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.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI think the discipline comes with turning that cellphone and Blackberry off and unplugging completely.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYEven as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets.
