"Damn right this is a great time in my career"
Matthew McConaughey is scruffy and fresh on Variety's new cover. The Dallas Buyers Club star says that he's very happy with his life at the moment, and that he might take a short break from acting. At the same time, McConaughey remembers how this decision almost cost him his career in the past.
Read some highlights from Variety's cover story below...

Future plans: “For the next two months, I’m playing the character of Matthew McConaughey, an actor proud of the films he’s been in. And if any of those films or his performances are in awards shows, he’s going to go, heart high and head up, and look them all in the eye and say, ‘Damn right this is a great time in my career.’ That’s the role I’m in now. I’ve got a lot to be thankful for.”
Coping with difficulties while filming Dallas Buyers Club: “I’ve got a saying: When faced with the inevitable, get relative. The inevitable was, I’m going to do this. I’ve got support from my family that insulates me. I surrounded myself with everything I needed to go on this adventure. And the focus was exciting. I said to myself, ‘We’re taking a trip, McConaughey. This is a story you want to tell. Those adventures you talk about — you’re on one now.’ ”
His recent break from cinema almost cost him his career: "I went to my wife and my agent and said, ‘I’m going to stop for a bit. I’m going to sit back in the shadows. I’m getting into my 40s, a great time for a man. I’ve started a family. I want to take time to laugh and love and enjoy these adventures [...] I just knew I was going to hold out for a while and things would dry out. I didn’t know how long they would dry out for, and that was scary. I would get sent things and the paychecks were great, and I would say no. Then, they quit sending them altogether. And then … nothing. So the message got through.”
