Billy Bob Thornton

It's a different reality, though, for you.

It is a different reality.

And you get used to it to the point where you just look at all of these legends who you know.

I mean, I knew Gregory Peck very well, Elizabeth Taylor, all of them, and Roddy McDowell.

And I got so used to it that I would forget most of the time, you know.

And then every now and then, you go...

I'm talking to fucking Lauren Bacall.

It's Bogart's wife.

I mean, are you shitting me?

And so I still pinch myself sometimes.

I mean, I've been really blessed to have met a lot of great heroes of mine, you know, and become friends with them.

Right now I'm working with Sam Elliott.

Sam and I have known each other since probably the late 80s, somewhere in there.

Worked together twice before, but a couple of scenes at a time, Tombstone and then 1883.

But kept up with each other over the years, and he was another guy who was more of a mentor from a distance.

I just always admired Sam, and now...

I work with him every day.

That's wild.

And it's amazing.

It's got to be weird, right?
