Coffee Quote by Richard K. Morgan
“I've seen 'True Detective' end-to-end at least three times; I'll probably see it again. It is a work of dark brilliance. But if the phone goes fifteen minutes from the end of that last episode, I'll likely turn it off and go make coffee when I'm done with the call.”

![“It was the first time I worked with Matthew McConaughey [in the True Detective].They're fun guys [with Woody Harrelson]. They don't take life at all too seriously, but yet they take their work very seriously. And both of them are just so committed to character and the story.” quote by Michelle Monaghan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b5b/michelle-monaghan-9225_character_it-was-the-first-time-i-worked-with-matt_1262266.jpg)
