According to Fox News, Matthew McConaughey might run for the Governor in the state of Texas.

“It would be up to the people more than it would me.”

“I would say this. Look, politics seems to be a broken business to me right now. And when politics redefine its purpose, I could be a hell of a lot more interested.”

McConaughey expressed his interest in getting “behind personal values to rebind our social contracts with each other as Americans, as people again.”

“So I’m all for the individual, and I think … to make collective change that the individual needs to look in the mirror and say how can I be a little bit better today? How can I, how can this selfish decision I want to make for myself correlate and also be the decision that’s best for the most amount of people?”

“There is a place where that decision lives all the time. It’s hard to get to, but there is a place to make the decision that’s best for ourself, but also be considerate of what that decision is for the most amount of people.”
