Billy Bob Thornton

She goes, it's fascinating to me.

A lot of people who didn't know me before that thought that I was actually that guy.

It's like this mentally challenged guy made a movie and everything.

And they would meet me and they go, you're the guy in that.

Yeah.

So anyway, but she said it was fascinating to me.

And she goes, and you came out here from, what is it, Alabama or something like that?

And I said, Arkansas.

And she goes, Arkansas.

And with a straight face said to me, what do you people do down there?

I was like, wow.

And I said, thinking she'd get the joke, I said, we mostly lay around on the porch with our hound dog and swat flies.

She goes, oh, interesting, interesting.

It's like, babe, I was fucking with you there.

But that was one of the moments where I realized that I really was an outsider out there.

And people ask me about my longevity in this business.

And I always say it's because I stay out of it.

And I tell people, do your acting on the red carpet, not in the movie.

They said, well, you're so natural and stuff.

It's like, that's from ignorance.
