For life: it is rather a determination not to be overwhelmed. For work: the truth can only be recalled, never invented. - Marilyn Monroe

The male is always the pawn in a romantic comedy. Come together, break up, go chase her, get her, roll credits. That's what happens in all of them. - Matthew McConaughey
I don't dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it's gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin' White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It's connected to where you are today. - Matthew McConaughey
I 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 McConaughey
There'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. What'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 McConaughey
The challenge for me as an actor is if you become a celebrity, you don't meet strangers anymore. And strangers are where we have our anonymity. And I believe it's essential for the soul to be anonymous, especially if you're going to be an actor. - Matthew McConaughey
When 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 McConaughey

One 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? So, 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 McConaughey
I'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 McConaughey
If you want your hair to be thicker, cut it when the moon is about to be full - a heavy, full, waxing moon. Do not cut it when the moon's waning. - Matthew McConaughey

My whole family are hams. They're storytellers and everyone outdoes the next one. - Matthew McConaughey
I like the city. I like the concrete. I like big business. I like being a CEO of my own company and having a lot of responsibilities. At 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 McConaughey
I don't want to just revolve. I want to evolve. As a man, as a human, as a father, as a lover. - Matthew McConaughey
