the country to promote his new movie Sahara. The action adventure movie, based on a Clive Cussler novel, co-stars Steve Zahn and Penelope Cruz and hits theatres April 8.
Rob Scheer, The Towerlight, Towson University: I've always wondered, what's it like to have girls like you?
Matthew McConaughey: I like women, you know? Can't figure Ã"em out, but I sure like tryin'. Actually, that's a secret I didn't learn until a few years ago--you're never gonna figure them out. You know
I've always liked women. Never had sisters, but I had a cool mom. And I always got along with women.
News-Letter: Do you ever get sick of it?
MM: Of having girls like me?
N-L: Well, the throbs of screaming women.
MM: I don't know if I get sick of it. I figure I'm a pretty likeable guy. What's cool is when everybody has respect. Respect is cool across the board.
I don't know why I feel comfortable with women. I guess it's natural. I've always kind of naturally enjoyed women, and they've always kind of naturally enjoyed me. I don't get to know every woman that I'm
interested in, or is interested in me. If they enjoy what I'm doing, or who I am, that's cool.
