But I think it's -- I think there's a lot of people doing a lot of
giving, as far as celebrities go.  But there's much more, I think, media  attention to it now.  And I think that's a good thing.

Anderson:  Good stuff.  Lewis has written to us, Matthew.  He says,
"You've always seemed like a pretty low-key guy who enjoys surfing and  hanging out more than the glitz -- "

McConaughey:  Yes.

Anderson:  "And the glamor of Hollywood.  Is this true, and do you
find it hard to balance a normal life with a celebrity life?" he asks.

McConaughey:  Sure, it's a challenging balance at times.  But I've
been doing it for a while, so you get better at it, you know?  And it's now  -- it's not my life and then a celebrity life.  I have my life, and I  happen to be a celebrity.  So, which comes first?  I have my life first,  but I'm also a celebrity.

So, I think when I started looking at those two as one instead of two  different things, it became a lot easier.  But there's a -- it's
challenging at times, but it's not something that's not handleable.

Anderson:  Well done, you.  Listen, there are millions of people
watching tonight who want to know what Matthew is up to next.

McConaughey:  Can I talk about some movies?

Anderson:  Absolutely.

McConaughey:  We've got a thing called "Lincoln Lawyer."  "Lincoln
Lawyer," I'm back in the courtroom.  It's been since "A Time to Kill."  I'm  back in the courtroom on late March in the Unites States here, so we should  be over there in your land pretty soon after that. And then, I've got a couple other things coming up.  I'm about to go  do a movie called "Bernie" with a friend of mine, Richard Linklater, who I  did "Dazed and Confused" with.

And then I'll do a film called "Killer Joe" this fall.  And then,
hopefully in January, March, February, I'll be going to make the fourth one  in a row.

So, I've been out of it for a couple of years, raised a -- made a
family and raised a family.  Now, I'm getting back into it, I'm going to  give you something to see.
