“For all the drama we all have with our families and all the tension and hostility, I couldn't have done this without my family.

“In romantic comedies there's a certain ceiling and a floor that you can't necessarily love as hard, or hate as hard, or have as much pain, because you sink the shop of the romantic comedy. But in a certain drama, like some of the ones I've been doing, the ceiling and the floor was my own. And in many ways, that was a higher ceiling and a lower floor, so that was more of a band-with for those emotions.” WayHardPainCertainHateMy OwnEmotionComedyHigherDramaBandShopsCeilings Author:Matthew McConaughey
“When I say that I can write nothing but weird fiction, I am not trying to exalt that medium but am merely confessing my own weakness.

“I’m too young and ridiculous a person to speak for my generation, but I’d be happy to talk about my own experiences as a generation Y writer. I was raised by a generation of hippies. Throughout my childhood, teachers urged me to fight the establishment. My English teacher assigned Ginsberg and Kerouac and declared Bob Dylan “a genius.” My science teacher told me that television was “the new opiate of the masses” and bragged about never having owned one.
