Matthew McConaughey launches YouTube channel: 'Giddy up'

"Alright, alright, alright," the Oscar-winning actor said through literal rose-colored glasses. "Yes, the first three words this young man ever said on film. Thank you. Yes, McConaughey here, and I wanna welcome you to my YouTube channel. It's a destination where I'm gonna share who I am, who I'm not, what I believe in, what I don't, what I'm doing, what I'm not doing—along with some approaches to life that I've found useful and constructive along the way."

He continued: "Prescriptions in the art of living that have helped me navigate this rodeo we all live in, and even a bunch of bumper stickers that I have seen, heard, gathered and stolen along the way over my last 51 years here.
