"KATE HUDSON: I am Kate and you are Matthew. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: We&amp;amp;#8217;re here in Paradise Cove [in Malibu] catching up on tape. KATE HUDSON: We&amp;amp;#8217;re about to go see our movie, Fool&amp;amp;#8217;s Gold, for the first time. I&amp;amp;#8217;m nervous. [To the tape recorder:] He seems calmer than me. And we&amp;amp;#8217;re having a margarita and we&amp;amp;#8217;re talking about our lives and how well we have gotten to know each other over the years&amp;amp;#8230;. As a female, I&amp;amp;#8217;m just going to say, for the record, Glamour magazine, Matthew McConaughey is wearing a cream Western shirt, very simple. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: With snaps, not buttons. KATE HUDSON: Mother-of-pearl snap buttons. Jeans, some very handsome brown boots and a cashmere cream beanie, which I might say is extremely complimentary. And he has a vintage brown jacket, 42 long. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: Burnt orange. KATE HUDSON: It&amp;amp;#8217;s not burnt orange. That would be considered a camel, a dark camel. And he looks fine, fine, fine. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: Well, [Kate] is a rock &amp;amp;#8216;n&amp;amp;#8217; roll hippie chick. She has got on her seventies jeans&amp;amp;#8212;tight to the thigh. And then big flares at the bottom. What kind of shoes you got on? She has on some rubber high-heel clogging pumps. KATE HUDSON: They&amp;amp;#8217;re Yves Saint Laurent rain boots. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: Yves Saint Laurent rain boots. KATE HUDSON: And they&amp;amp;#8217;re 18th Amendment jeans. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: She is posting 5&amp;amp;#8217;11&amp;amp;#8221;. KATE HUDSON: OK, I&amp;amp;#8217;ve got some questions for you: You and I were [in Australia, shooting Fool&amp;amp;#8217;s Gold] for such a long time. We were able to go to different places. What was your favorite? I think I know the answer. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: Port Douglas was my favorite. The Four Mile Beach, locals I met, the way that little town was&amp;amp;#8230;I was with you when you got certified [to dive]. KATE HUDSON: Remember how scared I was? MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: What was your main fear? KATE HUDSON: What I couldn&amp;amp;#8217;t see. I never wanted to know what was in the water&amp;amp;#8230;stingrays and sharks. [But] I fell madly in love with it. The first time I went down, I sat on the ocean floor in front of this reef that had all of these beautiful little tiny fish. I just listened to my breath and cried for like five minutes in my mask. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: While you were under water? KATE HUDSON: Yeah. It was like meditating. Well, I want to ask you&amp;amp;#8212;since we worked together before&amp;amp;#8212;what are the similarities and the differences of working together again? Because it&amp;amp;#8217;s been like five years. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: We work well and we fight well. KATE HUDSON: We&amp;amp;#8217;re a perfect pain in each other&amp;amp;#8217;s asses. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: When you and I first talked [about making Fool&amp;amp;#8217;s Gold], you go, &amp;amp;#8220;I can&amp;amp;#8217;t wait for you to give me a pain in my ass again.&amp;amp;#8221; KATE HUDSON: It is perfect&amp;amp;#8230;I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know what it is. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know if it&amp;amp;#8217;s a competitiveness that we have&amp;amp;#8230;that we are easy with each other. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: You are competitive. But you are very feminine and I&amp;amp;#8217;m masculine. It&amp;amp;#8217;s interesting that we never let the other one get away with anything. KATE HUDSON: No, we don&amp;amp;#8217;t. You said something interesting the other day when we were at the [Glamour] photo shoot. You were saying something about&amp;amp;#8230; MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: I think it&amp;amp;#8217;s fun [for audiences] to see us [on the big screen]. They want us to hook up, but they don&amp;amp;#8217;t want us to&amp;amp;#8230;. KATE HUDSON: We&amp;amp;#8217;ve never had any kind of relationship romantically and there&amp;amp;#8217;s an element of that you can feel when we&amp;amp;#8217;re working together. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: We&amp;amp;#8217;re always courting. It&amp;amp;#8217;s a constant flirting courtship, which keeps it really alive. We never dated. But we can still be attracted. KATE HUDSON: I&amp;amp;#8217;ve seen you brush your teeth in the morning. I know what your body odor smells like. I can smell you from five blocks away. I know all your different style kisses. And I know all your different style hugs. If I were walking down a street and some guy came up and slapped my ass, if it were you, I would know it was you. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: Well, you know what? If I were blindfolded and told to walk over and slap 10 asses, I would know which one was your ass. KATE HUDSON: Which leads me to paparazzi. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: Yeah. What about it? KATE HUDSON: People all up in your business. How do you deal? What&amp;amp;#8217;s your motto? MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: About four years ago I had one night we were going to go out and I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t want to go. I was like, no, the paparazzi will be there. Then it hit me. I&amp;amp;#8217;m letting somebody with a camera&amp;amp;#8212;not a gun, but a camera&amp;amp;#8212;keep me from doing what I like to do. Keep me from doing what I would have done before I was a celebrity. [My motto] &amp;amp;#8220;just keep living&amp;amp;#8221; is you&amp;amp;#8217;ve got a life first. KATE HUDSON: Just Keep Livin is your production company. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: Yeah. But so far this has worked pretty well for me. As soon as I get to a place and see a bunch of paparazzi, all running and hiding, I ride right up and call them over and go, &amp;amp;#8220;Look, you&amp;amp;#8217;re going to be here and I&amp;amp;#8217;m going to be here. I&amp;amp;#8217;m going to keep trying to live my life and do what I want, OK? All I ask you is this&amp;amp;#8230;. No shots on my porch or anything personal of my home. If I&amp;amp;#8217;m out on the beach or if I&amp;amp;#8217;m in town, then shoot away, just give me my space and don&amp;amp;#8217;t get in my eye line.&amp;amp;#8221; KATE HUDSON: &amp;amp;#8220;And make sure you spell my name right.&amp;amp;#8221; That&amp;amp;#8217;s what my dad, Kurt&amp;amp;#8212;Pa&amp;amp;#8212;always says. [Hudson was raised by her mom, Goldie Hawn, and Hawn&amp;amp;#8217;s longtime boyfriend, Kurt Russell.] The only way you can deal with it is by looking at it like, as long as they spell my name right, you know? But maybe you&amp;amp;#8217;ll feel different when you have kids. Because [you and I] know how to deal with it. What happens now is [the paparazzi] follow your child with whomever takes them to school, whether it&amp;amp;#8217;s me, whether it&amp;amp;#8217;s Chris. We can understand that. We can laugh at the absurdity of [it]. But [the child] hates it. And they don&amp;amp;#8217;t understand it. They aren&amp;amp;#8217;t able to experience their life in the present and be a kid. And that is the most frustrating thing. Because it&amp;amp;#8217;s not real life. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: I had some [photographers] the other day in Beverly Hills that saw me park. When I came back to my van there were four construction workers leaning against it, acting like they were sitting around talking. [The paparazzi] had gone to them and said, hey, can you all lean up against this van? So I said [to them], &amp;amp;#8220;Yo, yo, hey, men, hey. Can you stop leaning against my van?&amp;amp;#8221; They were like, &amp;amp;#8220;Oh, OK.&amp;amp;#8221; But what the [paparazzi] wanted me to do was be a diva and go, &amp;amp;#8220;Hey, get off my f&amp;amp;#8212;-ing van.&amp;amp;#8221; KATE HUDSON: You know, [the tabloids] already decided they wanted us to be an item the second they heard we were working together. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: You get family or friends that go, &amp;amp;#8220;Congratulations,&amp;amp;#8221; or, &amp;amp;#8220;I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t know you and so and so&amp;amp;#8230;&amp;amp;#8221; KATE HUDSON: It&amp;amp;#8217;s the same story every time. You&amp;amp;#8217;re either pregnant, moving in together or the family hates [this person]. And it&amp;amp;#8217;s all wrong. I just want to take a walk, I don&amp;amp;#8217;t want to move in, I don&amp;amp;#8217;t want to have another kid. It&amp;amp;#8217;s like, I just want to get a sandwich with this person, you know? MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: I was going to ask you: You are a really cool combination of, &amp;amp;#8220;Yeah, c&amp;amp;#8217;est la vie, baby.&amp;amp;#8221; But you [also] have a real moral bottom line. You don&amp;amp;#8217;t take s&amp;amp;#8212;t. You hold yourself and others accountable. The stereotype is that those are two different [things] that can be seen as way left and way right. And you have gotten more like that since I first met you. I suppose it has something to do with becoming a mother. KATE HUDSON: Yeah. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: But obviously, I&amp;amp;#8217;ve been around Kurt and around your mom and your family, and you know, you are these wild artists. But at the same time there&amp;amp;#8217;s a line that goes with responsibility to family, friendships, and I think you are very disciplined about that. KATE HUDSON: Growing up, if we wanted a car, we needed to work to get our car. Even parents who didn&amp;amp;#8217;t make nearly as much money as my parents did would buy [their kids] a car. Not with us. So they instilled something in us. It drove them crazy about the business they were in, that when kids grow up, everything is just handed to them. My parents wanted me to work to be an actor. The second I got my first job I was completely cut off. If I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t want to go to college, I had to move out of the house. It was normal, you know&amp;amp;#8230;. Oh, wait, I want to ask more about your production company, Just Keep Livin. Are there any new projects that you&amp;amp;#8217;re working on that you are excited about? MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: We just finished production on a thing called Surfer, Dude. Actually been working on it for seven years. KATE HUDSON: I&amp;amp;#8217;m sure a lot of the readers will know about this movie because there&amp;amp;#8217;s a lot of pictures of you in Malibu. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: I heard that. KATE HUDSON: In the tabloids, yeah. A lot of pictures with your shirt off. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: Yeah. KATE HUDSON: It seemed to be a good year of you with your shirt off. A lot of beach pictures. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: I have had three summers in a row: Malibu, summer of 2006. As soon as it got chilly in September, I went to Australia for their summer&amp;amp;#8212;that&amp;amp;#8217;s six months. Came back to Malibu for four months of surfing. KATE HUDSON: OK, so I have another question. Explain your trailer living. Why do you like to live in a trailer? MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: When I came back from Australia, I had life down to one backpack. KATE HUDSON: Yeah, that was your thing. You wanted to fit everything in a backpack. What does that tell you? It tells you, you are crazy. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: Fine. Let me just say this, it&amp;amp;#8217;s easier to pull it off when it is summer. But it&amp;amp;#8217;s harder when it&amp;amp;#8217;s wintertime. Because warm clothes take up more room. KATE HUDSON: Yeah, it&amp;amp;#8217;s pretty nice to have a sweater every once in a while, too. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: Yeah. Trailer life. I like where I am. If I wake up one morning and feel like moving on, I get to hook it up and move. I get a new backyard for 30 bucks a night wherever I go. Sometimes you don&amp;amp;#8217;t even have to pay for the spot. And you can pull into the most beautiful spots. In Utah I pulled up next to an old train track two miles into the desert. Just hooked up there, me and my dog, and the train comes rumbling by at 4 A.M. That&amp;amp;#8217;s cool when you&amp;amp;#8217;re out there with nothing else. KATE HUDSON: Can I tell you what else is cool? MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: What&amp;amp;#8217;s cool? KATE HUDSON: That our movie comes out the week of the Super Bowl. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: Yes. Speaking of [Tom] Brady or Peyton [Manning], who do you like? KATE HUDSON: Why are you putting me on the spot? That is not fair!&amp;amp;#8230; Let&amp;amp;#8217;s go see the movie. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: Let&amp;amp;#8217;s go do it."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
