Billy Bob Thornton
My songs aren't built around choruses or hooks or anything like that. That's kind of how I write screenplays too.
Billy Bob Thornton
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.
Billy Bob Thornton
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
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
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.
Billy Bob Thornton
Kids won't watch older movies - they want to see what's hip right now.
