Billy Bob Thornton

And it was like, what am I?

What is that, Louie Mayer?

Who the fuck was I just talking to, you know?

And so they put me in the thing.

And this was in the 80s.

And I'm burning up, you know, Riverside, California.

It's hotter than shit out there.

It was in the summer.

So I'm in a wool suit with a conductor hat on.

And just sweating my ass off.

And I go in, and this was in the days when I was still in a honey wagon.

So there's just a little tiny room, you know, a little bathroom and a little couch just like that wide.

And at lunch I went in and I put the air conditioner on.

I took that conductor hat off.

And I looked at myself in the mirror and I thought, you sorry son of a bitch.

You're never going to make it doing any of this shit.

Music, movies, nothing.

You're just, you know, why are you out here, you know, to make, you know, three or four hundred bucks for a day.

And Val Kilmer's a big star and you're just some idiot with a couple of lines, you know.

And I literally made that face in the mirror at myself.
