Man, I was drowning in sadness. And Angelina, she lifted me right up out of there.
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.

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

I used to put that I studied with Stella Adler on my resume. I never met Stella Adler. But if you told a casting director you studied with Stella Adler all the sudden they'd let you in the door.

Billy Bob Thornton
I actually am a phobic twitchy sort of nervous guy.

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
A lot of kids, when they go to church, they don't really pay much attention to what they're saying or whatever.
