Life is magical and I guess my thing is I wish that people wanted that magic.
Billy Bob Thornton
Now, if you want to do realistic, kind of heavier acting stuff, you do it on Amazon or Netflix or whatever or HBO.
Billy Bob Thornton
I've led a very eclectic life.
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'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
Somewhere along the line we stopped believing we could do anything. And if we don't have our dreams, we have nothing.

To tell you the truth, I don't ever talk about characters as separate from myself.

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
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'm not sure that I'm really relevant as a director anymore. Or as a writer, either, to tell you the truth.
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
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 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
If you love somebody let them know every day.
Billy Bob Thornton
Usually when you're playing a character, you think a lot about their backstory.
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
I'll always consider myself a Southerner. A lot of people put California down, but my dreams were realized there.
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
Basically there are no stars anymore. The audience is the star.
