Matthew McConaughey

You don't know.

Yeah.

you'll be coming to visit me in this new place maybe.

I stripped a lot of my past symbols and talismans while I was, while I was there.

What I, what I,

I remember getting there and just having so much adrenaline on the anticipation, anticipation of getting to the Amazon.

In the first 10 days, I wasn't really enjoying the trip.

I was just charging to get to the destination, to get to the banks of the river that I had a dream about.

And then it just humbled me.

I got so fatigued.

on night, whatever, 12, and was so sick and tired of the internal dialogue I was having with myself.

I was not enjoying my company.

That, you know, I purged.

And I remember, and stripped off identity markers that I had sort of been

hanging on to for like everything from, you know, what it means to be an American.

My dad's ring, M from McConaughey, a meltdown of my mom and dad's class rings from University of Kentucky were gold from her teeth and his class ring melted down.

You know, taking that off was really hard to go, am I casting out my father?

Now, I wasn't casting them out.

I was just removing to say, I don't have to rely on that being all of my identity.

So to pull that off, to strip down to where I was just a mammal.
