More quotes by Billy Bob Thornton
Man, I was drowning in sadness. And Angelina, she lifted me right up out of there.
Billy Bob Thornton
Normally you're 21 years old and you look like Tom Cruise and you do a couple underwear commercials first and then you're a movie star. That didn't happen for me. So it was all quite overwhelming.
Billy Bob Thornton
If you're going to take care of your kids and pay for your house and do something good for adults, you have to do something on television now.
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
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
I think people can live a religious life and yet believe in things maybe outside the box a little bit.
Billy Bob Thornton
I attribute all my success to ignorance. If you don't ever think about not getting where you want to be, I think it helps you out.
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
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
I actually am a phobic twitchy sort of nervous guy.
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.
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
I've never heard of anybody smoking a joint and going on a rampage. It makes you lie around on the floor and look at the ceiling. What's wrong with that?
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
If someone is talking to you and tells you that you ought to do something, and you can tell they mean it, those are the scary people. Those are the people you want to watch out for.
Billy Bob Thornton
Every couple I know has side-by-side grave plots, but when we do it we're the biggest weirdos on the block.
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
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
As most characters are that I play, there's a lot of me in it, anyway.
Billy Bob Thornton
If you're 25 years old dressed up like Superman at a comic book convention, that's great. If you're 78 and you're doing it, something's wrong.
Billy Bob Thornton
