More quotes by Billy Bob Thornton
I've led a very eclectic life.
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
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.

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
I always wanted to play a lawyer.

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
A lot of kids, when they go to church, they don't really pay much attention to what they're saying or whatever.
Billy Bob Thornton
Reality shows are usually created by people doing and saying stupid things.
Billy Bob Thornton
Independent films now, they want to give you $2 million to make it, 21 days to shoot it and they want 10 movie stars in it.
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
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 have a fear of flying I have a fear of crashing.
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 write songs on guitar and that's about how good of a guitar player I am. I can write songs on it.
Billy Bob Thornton
I actually am a phobic twitchy sort of nervous guy.
