MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYThere are certain nights you and your image just aren’t in the same bed.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYVanity is great motivation, to be fair.
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 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 MCCONAUGHEYWhat’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.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI 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.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI’ve done films where we don’t rehearse, and I’ve done films where we heavily rehearse. I like rehearsals.

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYWe spend so much time sublimatin’, thinkin’ about, ‘What am I going to have for lunch, dinner?’
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 MCCONAUGHEYOne 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?
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.
