More quotes by Billy Bob Thornton
Usually with film writing I start with characters, and set about writing their story.
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
They were on the set of Bad Santa, but I tried to keep the headphones away from them. My kids have seen Sling Blade, Armageddon, Bandits and Friday Night Lights. They have not seen Monster's Ball and nor will they ever. Even when they are 60. I will leave it in my will.
Billy Bob Thornton
Heavy role in the movies that I've done that I have loved and fit my soul A Simple Plan, Monster's Ball, Sling Blade, One False Move, Bad Santa even. I mean Bad Santa is a comedy, and it's a very dark comedy, and it's become like iconic, you know.
Billy Bob Thornton
I don't know how to type so I handwrite everything.
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 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 think Americana music is music that is generally more singer/songwriter oriented. It has more to do with the songwriting. The music, it's more like stories set to music.
Billy Bob Thornton
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
People's attention spans are a little shorter these days. Same thing with food and movies.
Billy Bob Thornton
If you love somebody let them know every day.
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
When people are bothering you constantly when you're trying to do just a simple thing that humans do every day but they won't let you do it without bugging you about it, that was a hard thing. Because I became a movie star overnight. From a working actor and working writer to a movie star.
Billy Bob Thornton
Just the other day, my assistant was on the line with Calvin Klein. Golly, I usually shop at Sears.
Billy Bob Thornton
Anytime you get a chance to play some extreme character, in any direction, it's always a great blessing.
Billy Bob Thornton
You know, what's popular? Okay, vampires are very popular. Let me make my vampire movie. I'm not saying you can't make a vampire movie. But if you're going to do one do something crazy. I mean don't just get a bunch of, like I said, models and make them into vampires so you'll get an audience. You know maybe get some ugly vampires for a change.
Billy Bob Thornton
I actually am a phobic twitchy sort of nervous guy.
Billy Bob Thornton
Nothing wrong with computer as things. They can work wonders in communications and business and medicine and everything else.
Billy Bob Thornton
When I was a teenager, I read the bible cover-to-cover, and I found the Old Testament, it's a pretty bloody history book.
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.
Billy Bob Thornton
