More quotes by Billy Bob Thornton
I know that I loved music before I loved movies, simply because I didn't see movies as a kid.
Billy Bob Thornton
Usually when you're playing a character, you think a lot about their backstory.
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
I have been fortunate to get some really good scripts over the years and I haven't turned down anything that I regretted so far. And my manager who I've been with for over 25 years is very good at knowing what I should and shouldn't do a lot of times.
Billy Bob Thornton
People think you have to be tortured or miserable to write, but I'm finding that I get inspired a lot more these days before I'm happy.
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.
Billy Bob Thornton
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
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
If you love somebody let them know every day.
Billy Bob Thornton
When people are bothering you constantly when you're trying to do just a simple thing that humans do every day but they won't let you do it without bugging you about it, that was a hard thing. Because I became a movie star overnight. From a working actor and working writer to a movie star.
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
When I was a teenager, I read the bible cover-to-cover, and I found the Old Testament, it's a pretty bloody history book.
Billy Bob Thornton
To tell you the truth, I don't ever talk about characters as separate from myself.
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
Man, I was drowning in sadness. And Angelina, she lifted me right up out of there.
Billy Bob Thornton
I actually am a phobic twitchy sort of nervous guy.
Billy Bob Thornton
A lot of people are doing television now. Great, legendary actors are doing movies on cable and stuff now, and you can't blame them, because they're still doing adult dramas and adult comedies on those stations.
Billy Bob Thornton
The great movies that I want to do now are being made for $2.5-million budgets.
Billy Bob Thornton
Life is magical and I guess my thing is I wish that people wanted that magic.
Billy Bob Thornton
