McConaughey's been rocking that catchphrase since portraying the David Wooderson character in the coming of age film Dazed And Confused in 1993. {{ relativeTimeResolver(1593489862404) }} Similar QuestionsJoin Alexa AnswersHelp make Alexa smarter and share your knowledge with the world LEARN MORE Memorable lines can be tricky for the actors who utter them on the big screen. The more the words catch on, the more likely the stars are to hear them quoted back by fans again and again (and again) — for years to come. For Matthew McConaughey that means the words he first said in the '90s flick "Dazed and Confused" will likely follow him forever: "Alright, alright, alright." And when he sat down with TODAY's Savannah Guthrie Wednesday, the star insisted that was "alright" with him. "I said it," he told her when asked if he ever gets tired of constantly hearing that catchphrase. "I mean, that's the first three words I ever said in my film career, so it doesn't bother me when people say it." In fact, he celebrates it. "It is three affirmations," he explained. "What it does for me ... that's the first three words I said in my first film 'Dazed and Confused,' and now, I'm doing that in 1992. I don't know if that (acting) is going to be a hobby. It turned out to be a career 26 years later." It's a career that the Oscar winner loves and one he's grateful for — and those words serve as a reminder of that. "So when I hear it, when other people say it, it's a callback to 26 years ago when I first started this thing called acting, which turned into a career," he added with a smile. And he doesn't mind quoting his character, Wooderson, himself. When the topic turned to McConaughey's parenting style with the three children he shares with wife Camila Alves, he said, "We mix the 'alright, alright, alright' into the discipline." Which means that kids Levi, 10, Vida, 8, and Livingston, 5, are guided by mom and dad's "similar moral bottom line," but they also get to enjoy laid-back Friday nights at the family home. "Friday night is the no-curfew night. It's pizza night; it's a movie night; it's all the kids can sleep with mama and papa night." And it's even family dance night, too. Alright! Supplied Five Great Matthew McConaughey movie performances. What with The Dark Tower opening this month and Matthew McConaughey starring in it, we're taking a look at eleven McConaperfomances and putting them into a definitive (yes, definitive) McConaranking. It is entirely possible your favourite isn't on here, especially if you liked Interstellar. READ MORE: Mark Hanna in The Wolf of Wall Street (2013).Matthew McConaughey almost stole the show from Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall St. A six-minute, surgical strike cameo: Nobody who saw McConaughey as the coke-snorting, martini-guzzling, hooker-endorsing and, most importantly, chest-thumping Wall Street bigwig ever forgot it. It is his Alec-Bladwin-in-Glengarry Glen Ross moment – a world-of-the-film defining monologue delivered with maximum weird. McConaughey said the chest-pounding thing is something he does to warm up his voice, because of course he does. Ron Woodroof in Dallas Buyers Club (2013).Matthew McConaughey won plenty of awards and plaudits for his role in Dallas Buyers Club. McConaughey picked up an Oscar for his portrayal of this bull-riding, racist, homophobic guy who acquires HIV, overcomes his homophobia and starts a co-op for unapproved AIDS drugs. Many contended after the film's release that the real-life Woodroof was both bisexual and far from the man McConaughey portrayed, but it's an excellent, complicated performance nonetheless. Buddy Deeds in Lone Star (1996).Lone Star was one of Matthew McConaughey's last serious roles before he embarked on a decade of rom-coms. As with many John Sayles films, Lone Star is complex, adult, subtle and underrated – so subtle, in fact, that it's possible you totally forgot McConaughey was actually in it. He plays a legendary sheriff whose son Sam (a stunningly good Chris Cooper), also a lawman, struggles to get out from under his father's shadow. This is very early McConaughey, and he still seems to be learning his craft, but wonderful, subtle moments abound. To watch it is to contemplate what would have happened to his career had he stuck with boutique indies, rather than rom-coms. Dallas in "Magic Mike" (2012).Magic Mike was the movie that launched "the McConnaissance". "Male stripper" might not have been the first part that sprang to mind when you thought of McConaughey, but in retrospect, he was an absolutely inspired choice. Hilarious, earnest and just a little (OK, just a lot) sleazy, McConaughey imbues Dallas with a go-for-broke energy that, as is true for so many McConaughey performances, is impossible not to watch. McConaissance starts here. David Wooderson in "Dazed and Confused" (1993).For a certain generation, Dazed and Confused is a seminal film. It was 25 years ago this month, August 1992, when University of Texas undergrad Matthew David McConaughey started filming Linklater's period comedy Dazed and Confused as David Wooderson, the guy who is a little too old to be hanging around the high-schoolers who worship him. McConaughey improvised "alright, alright, alright" into the hearts of millions. The movie itself was a critical smash, a financial dud and a cult classic almost instantly – it is very possible that McConaughey as Wooderson was the most influential, non-Tarantino-directed indie performance of the early 1990s on college-age males (especially those who happened to go to schools in the South). I promise you: Ask any given 40- to 45-year-old in 2017, and I bet they can remember when they first saw this movie, AND I bet most of them started quoting Wooderson the next day, a trend that continued for a good couple of years. And who can blame them – everything that comes out of Wooderson's mouth is fantastic, from "be a lot cooler if you did" to "watch the leather!" to "I get older, they stay the same age". Of the many fascinating things about this lightning-in-a-bottle performance is McConaughey's look. The bowl cut, the moustache – if anything, his movie star looks are actually toned way down; he never looked like that again. It remains one of the most memorable debuts of all time.
