Matthew McConaughey Believe Quotations

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.

Once we were doing a scene, and suddenly, right in the middle of the take, he stops and looks at me and says 'I don't believe you,'. That'll stop you in your tracks. When Al Pacino tells you that he doesn't believe you, you believe it." ()

Having children has helped me become a better actor because they remind you to play make believe. It's the ease and naturalness of their beings. They just play and it's completely real for them at the time. As an actor, if we do it well, we make you believe.

I believe in living in the present and making each day count. I don't pay much attention to the past or the future.

I do believe in God, but I think it's very healthy for a believer to spend time in the pragmatism of agnosticism, and I think God appreciates agnostics trying to make a science of it and going, "I will not believe any further than that." I enjoy that kind of engineering mind. In no way did it ever feel blasphemous to me as a man of faith.
