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 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.

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
You can get famous for doing something stupid and empty, but you do something stupid and empty and you're already famous, you lose your career.
Billy Bob Thornton
Movies now, you can watch a trailer for a movie on TV now and you're not sure if it's a video game or a movie. You have to wait till the end of it to see, oh, I see, those actors are in it, so that one's a movie. Oftentimes, it's based on a video game.
Billy Bob Thornton
When I saw that show Lost I learned something. Other than one sort of big dude if you're in an airplane crash only models survive. So you know sit next to somebody pretty, but anyhow.
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
Songwriting and screenwriting aren't that different to me.
Billy Bob Thornton
Reality shows are usually created by people doing and saying stupid things.
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
So we are headed for a time when there won't be anything but movies that are essentially made like video games, and actors will become obsolete, and then the big stars will be people who live in Brentwood or wherever it is, and they have a show called, I don't know, Pool Parties of Brentwood or something like that.
