I've never heard of anybody smoking a joint and going on a rampage. It makes you lie around on the floor and look at the ceiling. What's wrong with that?

More quotes by Billy Bob Thornton
The independent film business is pretty much gone. Now you can do it in a format where you actually get to develop a character over a period of time.
Billy Bob Thornton
I always say if you're going to do a movie about Charles de Gaulle get a Frenchman, you know. I'm not French. And yeah, sure I could get with a dialect coach and work for six months trying to talk like a Frenchman. But there's some French actors. Just get one of them, you know.
Billy Bob Thornton
Somewhere along the line we stopped believing we could do anything. And if we don't have our dreams, we have nothing.
Billy Bob Thornton
I'm really influenced by Southern novelists, not many movie people. More like John Faulkner, William Faulkner, Erskine Caldwell, Flannery O'Connor, John Steinbeck, and people like that.
Billy Bob Thornton
People always like stories about the little guy fighting the big guy.
Billy Bob Thornton
I never wanted to write a book, and people have asked me for years to do it.
Billy Bob Thornton
These days movies are cut very quickly and sort of fragmented and I tend to do slower moving stories where people develop relationships with people. I think I'd probably do a lot better if I lived in Europe - I think it's more of a European sensibility somehow.
Billy Bob Thornton
As most characters are that I play, there's a lot of me in it, anyway.
Billy Bob Thornton
LA has its own vibe. It has a charm that a lot of people overlook sometimes.
Billy Bob Thornton
People think you have to be tortured or miserable to write, but I'm finding that I get inspired a lot more these days before I'm happy.
Billy Bob Thornton
My dad didn't hug me every day and say he loved me and anything like that.
Billy Bob Thornton
I actually am a phobic twitchy sort of nervous guy.
Billy Bob Thornton
At my dad's funeral I didn't cry when my dad died. I did it years later when I forgave him, which I've totally forgiven him and I loved my dad.
Billy Bob Thornton
Man, I was drowning in sadness. And Angelina, she lifted me right up out of there.
Billy Bob Thornton
When people are bothering you constantly when you're trying to do just a simple thing that humans do every day but they won't let you do it without bugging you about it, that was a hard thing. Because I became a movie star overnight. From a working actor and working writer to a movie star.
Billy Bob Thornton
If you're 25 years old dressed up like Superman at a comic book convention, that's great. If you're 78 and you're doing it, something's wrong.
Billy Bob Thornton
I worked as a roadie in the rock and roll business which was great fun. Very little money, very little food and the whole thing about the roadie's lifestyle is great because all the groupies have to go through the roadies to get to the rock stars. It's not necessarily true.
Billy Bob Thornton
If you looked in magazines ... you never see me in those out-on-the-town pages. I'm either at home playing with the kids or I'm working.
Billy Bob Thornton
Just the other day, my assistant was on the line with Calvin Klein. Golly, I usually shop at Sears.
Billy Bob Thornton
Every couple I know has side-by-side grave plots, but when we do it we're the biggest weirdos on the block.
