    • Matthew: (on a recent accident): I had to rope a calf and flip it on its back. It nearly pulled me off the horse. Foolishly, I thought I was fine. I grabbed the calf and its hoof went straight into my face. I thought: 'oh my God, my teeth'. I thought I'd lost my teeth. My teeth were fine but my nose was a wreck. It was very swollen the next day and I had two black eyes.
    • Matthew: (on his character Kevin Walker in Brothers And Sisters): I share the commitment-phobic aspect of his character. There are elements of him that I love which I don't have myself. He can be very fearless when he wants to be and very brave when he needs to be, maybe because of his job. I admire him for that. But what I enjoy about playing him is that at one hand, he's this big, tough lawyer and on the other hand, he's this insecure person who has problems with relationships, commitment, finding true love and all that stuff we go through.
    • Matthew: (on playing Dylan Thomas in The Edge Of Love): He's such a Welsh hero. Everyone in Wales is like, 'Oh my God, you're going to be the person to play Dylan Thomas'. I was like, 'Stop saying that'.
