Proud father McConaughey recently authored a children's book. "It's about the poetry of life, instead of having the pressure on us that feels like we’re told every day that we need to be absolute about every single thing," McConaughey told USA TODAY of his book, "Just Because," (Viking Books for Young Readers, 32 pp.), in September. "That's not really life. Life's much more poetic, odd, ironic. Once you admit all these contradictions, life becomes much more of a poem.

"This book came to me in a dream. It was like a folk-song ditty. I woke up at 2:30 and just went and wrote it down. I thought it was a Bob Dylan ditty, which it kind of is.

"That's how I think and dream, in song and rhythm."
