More quotes by Billy Bob Thornton
Movies now, you can watch a trailer for a movie on TV now and you're not sure if it's a video game or a movie. You have to wait till the end of it to see, oh, I see, those actors are in it, so that one's a movie. Oftentimes, it's based on a video game.

Anytime you get a chance to play some extreme character, in any direction, it's always a great blessing.
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
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
If you love somebody let them know every day.
Billy Bob Thornton
I write songs on guitar and that's about how good of a guitar player I am. I can write songs on it.
Billy Bob Thornton
My process started when I was born. The process is life experience. I believe that what makes you an artist, or at least an artist who can communicate the ideas that they want to get across, are people that have life experience.
Billy Bob Thornton
Nothing wrong with computer as things. They can work wonders in communications and business and medicine and everything else.
Billy Bob Thornton
I tend to like to move on. I don't sit around and dwell on things much.
Billy Bob Thornton
People want the truth but they only want the truth so they can talk bad about you on the blog or on television. They want you to tell them the truth and it screws everybody.
Billy Bob Thornton
Every couple I know has side-by-side grave plots, but when we do it we're the biggest weirdos on the block.
Billy Bob Thornton
I always wanted to play a lawyer.
