So basically know your lines but don’t dwell on them to much and just know the type of person your character is and it will come together

Everything he says makes sense,makes me wanna be an actor even more.

No words to describe his way of acting: simply stunning, magnificent.

Love this candid answer. It's always so interesting learning how actors started out, it reminds us they were people just like us!

take a shot everytime you hear that whistle

I think he would have been great at being Rick from "walking dead"

He is a brilliant actor and any advice he gives is a godsend.

My friends in college watched dazed and confused stoned out of our minds over and over and Mathew's character always made us burst out in laughter

Basically, be prepared but be ready to change and adapt at the moment. If you're scared to improv or when they change your lines last minute, then you haven't studied the character enough.

Just graduated college and I’m pursuing my love for acting, generally not doing it for fame or money just the love and passion videos like this inspire me maybe I’m not crazy for going after this never know

As a talent agent and a huge fan of Matthew I just adore this piece. Thank you for sharing and thank you Matthew McConaughey. I know I am no where near as amazing as a performer but I put everything into what I do as an agent for my performers and artists. I put my heart and soul into booking my clients and I live to find people like Matthew. Someone who is obsessed with the craft and always thankful to work and grow. I love watching this every few months. Thank you all again.

I really want to get into acting

It’s crazy that so many professional actors literally fell into being one. I personally have trained for a huge portion of my life here in London to become an actor and will hopefully next year be going to one of the best acting schools in the world where I will have to put in 55 hour weeks for 4 years to develop my craft to the point where I can call myself an “actor” and even then I probably will spend my whole life never even appearing in a film as big as the ones this guy stars in. Funny how life works huh.

I love method acting 🙏

I love him Dallas buyers club blew mind and dazed and confused true detective blew my mind lol he's very charismatic actor

I want to meet Matthew McConaughey in person someday because I want to share my film projects soon

Balance of commitment to a high level work ethic and letting go

Seeing Matthew acting while talking about acting is incredible

So what's important that I deduced here that he mentioned that studying the character is more important than improvisation.

he is not only a great actor but a down-to-earth guy...

Loved him in BOYS ON THE SIDE.

I always liked him. Yeah he’s done those silly comedies, but he’s really good at them. Yet some of his greatest work were the dramas where he doesn’t get nearly as much credit. Films like A Time To Kill, Contact, Dallas Buyers Club, the Paperboy, the Lincoln Lawyer.

I am 28 and I feel like I am too late because I have no experience but I feel it in my bones that I want to become an actor

Watch him in Bill Murray's Larger Than Life, and wonder just where did he get that crazed energy from, and how did they know he had it to cast him...

Dallas Buyers Club told a story of hope in the most unsettling way imaginable...

He's from my hometown!

He was also in Unsolved Mysteries

such an inspiration

Haha Matt is a very cool guy. D & C is one of my faves

Shout to Matthew McConaughey 👏 👏 👏

The pride of Longview Texas baby!

Gold! Thank you

He's going to be outstanding with Harmony Korine.

great. is there a full version of this interview somewhere?

The way he talks with hand gestures I was like "fugazi fugayzi"

always right place right

Anybody else listen for the whistle in his words when he speaks?

Man I would like to work in a movie with Matthew mcounaghy like he looks like a cool guy

I wish I was there I would to have an conservation with Matthew McConaughey

When things go right folks have all the answers.

I like the one where he was an astronaut and going through the 4th demention

Hopefully I can meet him one day. I am an actress and dancer and want to start a dance therapy business one day ✨

Where can I find the rest of this interview?

This where I am at where I am getting caught up in studying and worry about the lines which causes my performances to be stiff. Once I let go and as he put it "throw out the lines the day of" it works for me. So on point.

I am going to be an actor

I remember seeing him in a unsolved mysteries story portraying a victim. I was like ain't that Matthew? lol

Where to watch the whole speech

I really wish they would talk about the nepotism and many things out of the control of the artist in terms of "making it." Some of you out there (including this writer and vlogger) have the artist aspiration. You have been told by the very few who made it to believe in yourself and never give up. Well the simply fact is the arts are very different than any other profession. Because usually--someone else has to let you in. Now what I would tell you if you are 18 or 40 and feel that your destiny is in the arts? I would not tell you to just stay the "safe route" and give up on your dreams. I would tell you to pursue the artist aspiration smartly. Get another trade that you at least like. So the agents of industry never have you by the throat. You have to go to work anyway so you might as well have the job that pays well. I never went through the starving artist phase. I went through a starving student phase. So when I finally did pursue the artist endeavor I did it with a job I also like that contracts for 100K a year and four month vacations in Europe. That's how you go through being a starving artist. You don't starve at all. Hope this helps someone---Charles

Will be posting a monologue scene from Matthew's first movie role "A Time to Kill"

Was Matthew in a eastbound and down episode or two.???I seem to remember him in one....

This guy looks like the dad from white boy rick and that other space movie

A time to kill .Best movie

Anyone know the movie he auditioned for?

I don’t get what he means about throwing it away. Can someone elaborate??

I always find myself asking, "what if he HAD gotten that/those roles..." Where would it have landed? Things work out as they should.

Hi good

Acting: 4:42

So basically, make sure your lines are in a language you speak, then wing it.

No ones cooler than James Dean Matthew

I do the same thing Matthew lol

Being an actor is something i really want to do but i have a lot of social anxiety. I feel judged a lot and i’m not too confident. I feel like i’m wasting time by not putting myself out there, i’m just really scared.

Hollywood is like any industry. It’s all about who you know

Aight aight aight.

He worked on a character for 2 weeks that only had 3 lines?...Really? Makes Daniel Day Lewis seem lazy.

Intersteller and fools gold .. best films 😁

Or learn the lines so well you don't have to think about them. This frees you up to be in the scene.

And now.....Party at the moon tower

So the moral of the story is: Come prepared!

This is how many times he whistled while talking 👇

So that's why he learned spanish and back then who knew that years later the love of his life would be Hispanic

Whistling sssss lol

Basically go to a bar, chat to a stranger , get kicked out, become friends and just say fuck it , let's go on this ride we call life

You cant talk advice word for word you've gotta be you

ASMR

i am confused.....

What would they buy with $5 at the 7-11?

Yesterday I saw Matthew starring in a super lame car commercial that extolled the virtues of wanton materialism. Maybe Matt can give a talk on "How to Sell Out and Cash in Big Time" next week...

I always was pretty even very young. Early l knew I didn't like too much attention. I think it was because my mother would say : pretty is as pretty does.

Apparently he had good contacts or and money when starting out in the acting industry... But yeah he is a good actor though

Is the Lincoln Center really cold or something?

Can you make it in acting without selling your soul?

Smoking section at school???What school did this guy go to.

2:46 Grossly close to a pick and eat

I made friends or at least acquaintances with a very intelligent filmmaker who has directed some of my very favorite (Dafoe, Hoffman) actors of all time and eternity mf. I needed to check myself in my approach BUT I also called him out for ignoring the Weinstein company he worked for. So - old news I guess but that cult out there is for cowards. Would love to act. But it's full of losers. Sir Matthew M is one of my favorite actors. How do you know when it's just about money?

Why do actors always touch there face.... I mean way mor then normal like scratching there eyes or touching there mouth or nose I don’t get it

Ok but what about the hellish “right place right time” bs..

I don't know what I want to do with my life. Im 28. Already fuck.

Yeah. Don’t f$&@ing procrastinate. 🤣🤣 Learn your lines. I miss being in plays. Also wanted to be an actor my entire life... I got distracted, unfortunately. :/

This is exactly how I expected MM would start out acting. He seems to be a very decent guy. But he sure ain’t no intellectual.

Uhh huh.. Uhh huh.. Uhh huh.. Uhh huh.. Huh huh

Sorry, I can’t take advice on getting started from someone who...”failed to launch.”

Haha another hand talker I talk a lot with my hands my mum reckoned I was like an Italian. Why do some people do it and others dont so much .. weird

React don't act.

Direct me to Weinstein lol

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

He's a Republican, wonder what he likes so much about Trump that he would vote for him.

Is he lying why touch your nose as you speak

His whole speech is acted, scripted. #plottwist

so skinny

Adderrall, 2 D's and 2 L's. Maybe?
