More quotes by Billy Bob Thornton
I think Americana music is music that is generally more singer/songwriter oriented. It has more to do with the songwriting. The music, it's more like stories set to music.
Billy Bob Thornton
Reality shows are usually created by people doing and saying stupid things.

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
Just the other day, my assistant was on the line with Calvin Klein. Golly, I usually shop at Sears.
Billy Bob Thornton
Songwriting and screenwriting aren't that different to me.
Billy Bob Thornton
I'm not really a full-time director, I just like to direct the things that I write because I think I'm going to know it better than someone else.
Billy Bob Thornton
I've been married five times, and people think that's some bizarre thing, yet I've got buddies who refuse to get married and have sex with 15 people a week. I'm like Which is better? At least I was trying.
Billy Bob Thornton
Usually with film writing I start with characters, and set about writing their story.

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
Man, I was drowning in sadness. And Angelina, she lifted me right up out of there.
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
I've gone through my periods. I've read the Bible completely, all the way through twice. I did it once when I was about 20 and I did it again when I was about 30.
Billy Bob Thornton
All the actors I've worked with as a director over the years I really love and I thought they were all right for the part.
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
I attribute all my success to ignorance. If you don't ever think about not getting where you want to be, I think it helps you out.
Billy Bob Thornton
I'm not really a guy who wants to be a director, anyway.
Billy Bob Thornton
I'm really influenced by Southern novelists, not many movie people. More like John Faulkner, William Faulkner, Erskine Caldwell, Flannery O'Connor, John Steinbeck, and people like that.
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
To tell you the truth, I don't ever talk about characters as separate from myself.
Billy Bob Thornton
As most characters are that I play, there's a lot of me in it, anyway.
