More quotes by Billy Bob Thornton
I actually am a phobic twitchy sort of nervous guy.
Billy Bob Thornton
If someone is talking to you and tells you that you ought to do something, and you can tell they mean it, those are the scary people. Those are the people you want to watch out for.
Billy Bob Thornton
When people wear shoes that don't fit them, it says something about their soul. Generally, I think it means they are good people.

I don't see anything wrong with a cell phone. That's great. You have a flat tire in the middle of the night it works better than digging in your pocket for a quarter and looking for a payphone eight miles down the road.

You know, what's popular? Okay, vampires are very popular. Let me make my vampire movie. I'm not saying you can't make a vampire movie. But if you're going to do one do something crazy. I mean don't just get a bunch of, like I said, models and make them into vampires so you'll get an audience. You know maybe get some ugly vampires for a change.
Billy Bob Thornton
I always have an idea before we even start the movie because if you hire the wrong person, within a couple of days you're going to know that and you're going to be really panicked.
Billy Bob Thornton
The thing about a motion picture is that look of film on a big screen takes you into a magical.
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
A lot of people are doing television now. Great, legendary actors are doing movies on cable and stuff now, and you can't blame them, because they're still doing adult dramas and adult comedies on those stations.
Billy Bob Thornton
Movies these days have made killers into funny people. What's that all about? I've got kids and family and friends, and I don't like bad things. I don't think they're funny, and it's irresponsible to make movies that don't show you how that's not good.
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
I've been married five times, and people think that's some bizarre thing, yet I've got buddies who refuse to get married and have sex with 15 people a week. I'm like Which is better? At least I was trying.
Billy Bob Thornton
Kids won't watch older movies - they want to see what's hip right now.
Billy Bob Thornton
You read something and you just feel this makes sense. And sometimes before you even read it you have a feeling that yeah, I'm probably gonna do this one.
