I’m for gay power, straight power, male power, female power; everybody should feel empowered without oppressing anyone who’s different.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI’m for gay power, straight power, male power, female power; everybody should feel empowered without oppressing anyone who’s different.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYAbsolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYYou want to be a writer? Start writing. You want to be a filmmaker? Start shooting stuff on your phone right now.
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 MCCONAUGHEYWe dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI like having my hands in the clay. I like the movie-making process.
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 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 MCCONAUGHEYIn 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.
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 MCCONAUGHEYRomcoms are hard in a lot of ways: they’re built to be buoyant. It’s easy to demean them.
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 MCCONAUGHEYI say to the paparazzi, ‘Fellas, take your shot and go.’ It’s just they usually find me on a beach.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYYou don’t play characters that are celebrities – you play guys who know what to do when their septic tank’s blocked.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEYI’ve never been a manipulator, even in my bachelor days. I never wanted to do things to people that could catch up with me later on.
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.
