Billy Bob Thornton

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 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
Now the idea in the movie world is to make things the same. And in the TV world, the idea is to do something different, so... that's why I'm here!
