Billy Bob Thornton

I've put up with it for 30 years.

In the last couple of years, I started saying, how about when you do give a shit, come back and we'll get a picture?

Because after a while, you just can't take it.

I'm kind of a codependent guy, so I'm nice to everybody I can be.

It's just every now and then you get a ringer and you get drunk people, men and women, who just...

come over.

They'll come to the bus when we're on tour and just start banging on the door and saying, hey, you know, come out here.

We got some whiskey.

Take a shot with us.

And you're just like, can you imagine doing that to Jimmy Stewart?

Right.

You know, first of all, back then, they would have just thrown you in jail, you know.

But there's something about having heroes that are unattainable for you.

That way they can stay in that magic spot.

So I think we've lost magic and mystery and all these things.

Yeah.

I donate to a lot of charities, mainly children's stuff, but nobody knows it.

I don't go to the award show and talk about it when I'm getting my award.

It's like Ricky Gervais said in that skit of his.

He said, look, come up here.
