Matthew McConaughey

Has three bedrooms in his house and sleeps in all of them in turn.
Afraid of revolving doors.
Animal lover Matthew McConaughey has helped rescue many critters, including countless pets stranded after Hurricane Katrina.
Police responded to a disturbance call at Matthew's home in Austin, Texas in October 1999. When they arrived, the music was blaring and Matthew was playing bongo drums in the nude. He was with an unknown man and police attempted to arrest both of them after spotting illegal drugs. Matthew resisted arrest.
Has played Brazilian music for eight straight hours in the operating room to help his then-girlfriend Camila Alves McConaughey, now wife, give birth to their first child, Levi McConaughey (b. July 7, 2008).

[on career philosophy] Be the lean horse for the long ride. I figure I am in the third round of a 15 round fight.
[on himself] My best quality is that I'm a big hearted person. I'm resilient, too. My worst quality is selfishness, although everyone is guilty of that to an extent. Everyone should be, I think -- you need to respect yourself.
Traveling is a great love of mine. I love South America and Africa. I'm your ultimate backpacker when I'm away. It's just me and my backpack. It's good for getting away from the industry.
(on how he got started in acting) I was about 21 when I started. I dropped out of law school to go to film school -- the idea of practicing law for my whole life seemed a little boring. I was doing more directing stuff to start with, until a student mate asked me to be in his film La vita è un sogno (1993). A professional guy named Don Phillips spotted me and the rest is history.
(on Hollywood) I love it. It's silly to say that it is a world of false and stupid people. Sure there are witches and swindlers, but you can meet there many creative, talented and generous persons too. Hollywood is a pleasant place, when you are hip to the game and you enjoy it for what it is really.
