More quotes by Billy Bob Thornton
People's attention spans are a little shorter these days. Same thing with food and movies.
Billy Bob Thornton
I've been largely an improvisational actor for most of my career.
Billy Bob Thornton
My songs aren't built around choruses or hooks or anything like that. That's kind of how I write screenplays too.
Billy Bob Thornton
Life is magical and I guess my thing is I wish that people wanted that magic.
Billy Bob Thornton
My dad didn't hug me every day and say he loved me and anything like that.
Billy Bob Thornton
If you've written it you know exactly whoever you're playing if you've written it you already know it. As a matter of fact, you've already made the movie if you wrote it. You've made it in your head.
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
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
I mean the most important thing you can have as an actor, writer, director, or whatever you are, poet or whatever it is, is life experience. Life experience doesn't mean you have to live 50 years to have it. I mean you know a lot of people have huge life experience by the time they're in college.
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
I’m not much of a drinker, so I’m going to eat seven pounds of pork.
Billy Bob Thornton
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
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
I got in drama class in high school and I only got in there because there were girls and I thought maybe I could make a grade above a C in something.
Billy Bob Thornton
I don't know how to type so I handwrite everything.
Billy Bob Thornton
I've led a very eclectic life.
Billy Bob Thornton
[The lyrics and melody] usually come a little simultaneously, but I would say the lyrics are first usually I have the idea for a story in my head, or few lines.
Billy Bob Thornton
Kids won't watch older movies - they want to see what's hip right now.
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'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.
