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.

Songwriting and screenwriting aren't that different to me.

Usually with film writing I start with characters, and set about writing their story.
Billy Bob Thornton

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
If you're going to take care of your kids and pay for your house and do something good for adults, you have to do something on television now.

As most characters are that I play, there's a lot of me in it, anyway.
Billy Bob Thornton
You want to know the hardest thing about being smart? What? I pretty much always know what's going to happen next there's no suspense.
