I'll always consider myself a Southerner. A lot of people put California down, but my dreams were realized there.
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.

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.

LA has its own vibe. It has a charm that a lot of people overlook sometimes.

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
Usually when you're playing a character, you think a lot about their backstory.

Robert Duvall taught me years ago. He said, You know theatre is not real. I don't like plays. You know, he doesn't like plays. And I agree with him in certain ways, you know. They can be fun. I don't mind going to see them. I went and saw Phantom of the Opera. I thought hey, that's cool. Look at the mask and all that.
Billy Bob Thornton
I don't have a fear of flying I have a fear of crashing.
Billy Bob Thornton
If you look at a character as a mountain over there that you have to climb, then I think you've lost 50 percent of the air.
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.
Billy Bob Thornton
Everything is very convenient now and it would be real nice if somehow people started going back to the movie theater. And it's people of my generation. It's their fault in a lot of ways, people over 40. It's their fault that the only movies are about robots and beautiful vampires. It's wild, all vampires are beautiful.
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
Kids won't watch older movies - they want to see what's hip right now.
Billy Bob Thornton
If Michelle Pfeiffer gave Mel Gibson a vial of blood to wear around his neck in a movie you'd think it was terribly romantic, everyone would cry and they'd win awards. But in real life if someone does that they'd be considered weird.
