Whether I'm running on the beach without my shirt or whether I'm going out with my kids or going to church or going out to dinner - I 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 McConaughey
In 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 McConaughey
I was raised on, 'You go get a nine-to-five job, earn your pay and work your way up.' - Matthew McConaughey

What the heck is true love? I remember feeling, back when I was 12 and 'going' with this girl, 'Is this true love?' - Matthew McConaughey

The unsaid rule for living in a trailer park is: 'If the door's shut, don't come a-knockin.' But if it's open and you're walkin' by, feel free to say, 'Hello.' - Matthew McConaughey
I think the discipline comes with turning that cellphone and Blackberry off and unplugging completely. You 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 McConaughey
There are a whole bunch of roles where people say, 'Oh, you're playing yourself.' I guess it's kind of a compliment. Or people say, 'Oh, man, you just roll out of bed and do that.' The work is to make it look effortless. That's the hard part. - Matthew McConaughey
There aren't many things that are universally cool, and it's cool not to litter. I'd never do it. - Matthew McConaughey
I know when I grew up, it was, if it was daylight outside, get outside.

I'm one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life.

When you have good friends you've been around, every time they talk, you don't give them your full attention. You don't look them in the eye and stop. Half the time, you're listening, half the time, you are ignoring them. - Matthew McConaughey
