More quotes by Billy Bob Thornton
People's attention spans are a little shorter these days. Same thing with food and movies.
Billy Bob Thornton
I know that I loved music before I loved movies, simply because I didn't see movies as a kid.
Billy Bob Thornton
I’m not much of a drinker, so I’m going to eat seven pounds of pork.
Billy Bob Thornton
If Michelle Pfeiffer gave Mel Gibson a vial of blood to wear around his neck in a movie you'd think it was terribly romantic, everyone would cry and they'd win awards. But in real life if someone does that they'd be considered weird.
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
I'm not sure that I'm really relevant as a director anymore. Or as a writer, either, to tell you the truth.
Billy Bob Thornton
Heavy role in the movies that I've done that I have loved and fit my soul A Simple Plan, Monster's Ball, Sling Blade, One False Move, Bad Santa even. I mean Bad Santa is a comedy, and it's a very dark comedy, and it's become like iconic, you know.
Billy Bob Thornton
They were on the set of Bad Santa, but I tried to keep the headphones away from them. My kids have seen Sling Blade, Armageddon, Bandits and Friday Night Lights. They have not seen Monster's Ball and nor will they ever. Even when they are 60. I will leave it in my will.
Billy Bob Thornton
I didn't cry at my father's funeral, and I felt guilty about that. Of course, he got sick not too long after he and I had had that final altercation, and I felt real guilty because of that, too. Then years later, one day, I was probably in my late twenties, early thirties, and I just broke down crying, because I finally got my father.
Billy Bob Thornton
A lot of kids, when they go to church, they don't really pay much attention to what they're saying or whatever.
Billy Bob Thornton
Kids won't watch older movies - they want to see what's hip right now.
Billy Bob Thornton
Normally you're 21 years old and you look like Tom Cruise and you do a couple underwear commercials first and then you're a movie star. That didn't happen for me. So it was all quite overwhelming.
Billy Bob Thornton
I always wished there was somebody like the Coen Brothers and they appeared. And so yeah, my favorite role that I've ever done was in The Man Who Wasn't There. That's my very favorite character I've ever played.
Billy Bob Thornton
My mom was a psychic. And there's a movie called The Gift that I'd written years ago with Cate Blanchett which is loosely based on my mom.
Billy Bob Thornton
I've been largely an improvisational actor for most of my career.
Billy Bob Thornton
I tend to like to move on. I don't sit around and dwell on things much.
Billy Bob Thornton
Usually when you're playing a character, you think a lot about their backstory.
Billy Bob Thornton
People always like stories about the little guy fighting the big guy.
Billy Bob Thornton
I think Americana music is music that is generally more singer/songwriter oriented. It has more to do with the songwriting. The music, it's more like stories set to music.
Billy Bob Thornton
You can get famous for doing something stupid and empty, but you do something stupid and empty and you're already famous, you lose your career.
