You might know Matthew McConaughey as an Academy Award–winning actor who has appeared in over 40 feature films that have grossed over $1 billion. But he's also a deeper thinker, family man, and professor — and, after decades of keeping a journal, he captured much of his life experiences, quotes, and stories in his new book "Greenlights."
Who was I hanging out with? Where was I going? What was I eating? What was I drinking? How much sleep was I getting, et cetera. How was I looking at life? How was I approaching things? Well, when he moved on, I immediately sobered up. And I said that I got to become a man. I got to have the courage to start enacting who I am. I don't have that safety net. I don't have that crutch of my father anymore.
And that was one of the great green lights that his passing gave me. And I don't know that I'd be sitting here talking to you right now about a book with the career I have and the life I have if my dad hadn't passed away. I don't want to have this whole decade be preparation. And I had been writing at the time, these diaries and short stories. I had shared them with a friend of mine who gave me validation that, hey, these are creative and good.
So I call him and he says, "Hey buddy, what's going on?" I said, "Pop, I need to talk to you about something." He said, "Sure, what?" I said, "Well, I don't want to go to law school anymore. I want to go to film school."
