Billy Bob Thornton

What I was afraid of was it becoming a runaway train.

And so it was, I did love the opportunity to discover people I wouldn't have otherwise.

And I still feel that way.

I still discover people on the internet all the time that it's like, wow, I would have never known that.

So that does exist.

But out of those 20%, like I said, there's another 80%.

For instance, when I was coming up as an actor, we had like 30 critics to worry about.

You know, it was, you know, Rex Reed and Siskel and Ebert and Jeffrey Lyons and all these people.

And but, you know, there was a not a finite number, but semi finite number of critics.

You know, I mean, you had the local ones, you know, and all the states, but and internationally.

But now some guy named Daryl who doesn't like you, you know.

can just write a bunch of shit about you and people believe it.

Right, right.

You know, I've been on lists before.

I mean, you can ask people I work with on a set.

Like I said, I'm codependent.

I'm probably nicer to the crew even than I am, you know, the director and the producers and stuff.

I mean, not that I'm not nice to them too, but I love, like, the Landman crew.

Best crew I ever worked with.

And I go out of my way to make sure that they're okay every day.
