More quotes by Billy Bob Thornton
So we are headed for a time when there won't be anything but movies that are essentially made like video games, and actors will become obsolete, and then the big stars will be people who live in Brentwood or wherever it is, and they have a show called, I don't know, Pool Parties of Brentwood or something like that.
Billy Bob Thornton
Everything is very convenient now and it would be real nice if somehow people started going back to the movie theater. And it's people of my generation. It's their fault in a lot of ways, people over 40. It's their fault that the only movies are about robots and beautiful vampires. It's wild, all vampires are beautiful.
Billy Bob Thornton
My dad didn't hug me every day and say he loved me and anything like that.
Billy Bob Thornton
To tell you the truth, I don't ever talk about characters as separate from myself.
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
I don't have a fear of flying I have a fear of crashing.
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 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
Life is magical and I guess my thing is I wish that people wanted that magic.
Billy Bob Thornton
If you love somebody let them know every day.

Just the other day, my assistant was on the line with Calvin Klein. Golly, I usually shop at Sears.
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
If you look at a character as a mountain over there that you have to climb, then I think you've lost 50 percent of the air.
Billy Bob Thornton
I never wanted to write a book, and people have asked me for years to do it.

I always wanted to play a lawyer.
