I don't have a fear of flying I have a fear of crashing.
Billy Bob Thornton
The only times you'll see me in terms of the movie business is when I have to go to the premieres of my own movies. I don't go to see ones that aren't mine because I don't even like going to mine.
Billy Bob Thornton
If you're 25 years old dressed up like Superman at a comic book convention, that's great. If you're 78 and you're doing it, something's wrong.
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.

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.

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.

I've lived in California for half of my life. It's weird, everyone thinks of me as this guy who's from the South ... I'm really a Californian.
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 tend to like to move on. I don't sit around and dwell on things much.
Billy Bob Thornton
I can't sit through plays and musical theatre. I just want to run up onstage and mess up their hair and turn over the furniture.
Billy Bob Thornton
Anytime you get a chance to play some extreme character, in any direction, it's always a great blessing.
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've led a very eclectic life.
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
You never know what an audience is going to think about something. The ones that the audience doesn't get, I tend to let them go. I don't like to dwell on them too much.
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
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
People's attention spans are a little shorter these days. Same thing with food and movies.
