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
I tend to like to move on. I don't sit around and dwell on things much.

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
LA has its own vibe. It has a charm that a lot of people overlook sometimes.
Billy Bob Thornton
If you looked in magazines ... you never see me in those out-on-the-town pages. I'm either at home playing with the kids or I'm working.
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.

Nothing wrong with computer as things. They can work wonders in communications and business and medicine and everything else.

If Michelle Pfeiffer gave Mel Gibson a vial of blood to wear around his neck in a movie you'd think it was terribly romantic, everyone would cry and they'd win awards. But in real life if someone does that they'd be considered weird.
Billy Bob Thornton
I don't have a fear of flying I have a fear of crashing.
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
I actually am a phobic twitchy sort of nervous guy.
Billy Bob Thornton
When people wear shoes that don't fit them, it says something about their soul. Generally, I think it means they are good people.
Billy Bob Thornton
I've been largely an improvisational actor for most of my career.
Billy Bob Thornton
I worked as a roadie in the rock and roll business which was great fun. Very little money, very little food and the whole thing about the roadie's lifestyle is great because all the groupies have to go through the roadies to get to the rock stars. It's not necessarily true.
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
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.

If you love somebody let them know every day.
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
As most characters are that I play, there's a lot of me in it, anyway.
Billy Bob Thornton
The thing about a motion picture is that look of film on a big screen takes you into a magical.
