Matthew McConaughey quotes about
I keep a diary - one for each film and foreign land I travel to.
I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art. There are no rules. And if it comes down to me versus that weed I'm trying to pull out of the ground that doesn't want to come out? I know I'll win.
We found a great rhythm. Contractions started kicking in. I sat there with her, right between her legs. We got tribal on it, we danced to it! I was DJ-ing this Brazilian music.
The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
First off I want to thank God, because he's the one I look up to, he's graced my life with opportunities that I know are not of my hand or any other human kind. He has shown me that it's a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates. In the words of the late (British actor) Charlie Laughton, who said, 'When you got God, you got a friend and that friend is you.'
I've been in a couple of weddings where the coolest people that were the most day before so mellow and then the day of the wedding freaking out.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
By their fruits ye shall know them.
'Unbelievable' is the stupidest word in the dictionary.
The first step that leads to our identity in life is usually not 'I know who I am,' but rather 'I know who I am not.'
Directors like William Friedkin (Killer Joe), Steven Soderbergh (Magic Mike), and Lee Daniels (The Paperboy) got in touch with me and wanted me to be part of their films. That was a whole new chapter for me. I didn't chase any of those films and it made me think that I was right to take a chance, say no to the kind of thing I had grown tired of doing, and wait until something good came around. And it did!
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?
Man shall not live by bread alone.
