More quotes by Billy Bob Thornton
I didn't cry at my father's funeral, and I felt guilty about that. Of course, he got sick not too long after he and I had had that final altercation, and I felt real guilty because of that, too. Then years later, one day, I was probably in my late twenties, early thirties, and I just broke down crying, because I finally got my father.

I don't have a fear of flying I have a fear of crashing.
Billy Bob Thornton
If you've written it you know exactly whoever you're playing if you've written it you already know it. As a matter of fact, you've already made the movie if you wrote it. You've made it in your head.
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
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
These days movies are cut very quickly and sort of fragmented and I tend to do slower moving stories where people develop relationships with people. I think I'd probably do a lot better if I lived in Europe - I think it's more of a European sensibility somehow.
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
My dad didn't hug me every day and say he loved me and anything like that.
Billy Bob Thornton
If you looked in magazines ... you never see me in those out-on-the-town pages. I'm either at home playing with the kids or I'm working.
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
I’m not much of a drinker, so I’m going to eat seven pounds of pork.
Billy Bob Thornton
As most characters are that I play, there's a lot of me in it, anyway.
Billy Bob Thornton
Basically there are no stars anymore. The audience is the star.
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
I'm really influenced by Southern novelists, not many movie people. More like John Faulkner, William Faulkner, Erskine Caldwell, Flannery O'Connor, John Steinbeck, and people like that.
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
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
People's attention spans are a little shorter these days. Same thing with food and movies.
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.
