Billy Bob Thornton shares powerful advice to aspiring actors.
In the early 80’s, Thornton, recalls in the video below, he left his small Arkansas town to move to Los Angeles in order to become an actor. He was barely able to make ends meet, working a job at a pizza parlor and renting a tiny one-room apartment with his friend and future writing partner, Tom Epperson. After paying rent, they only had $6 left each week to live on. Even though times were tough, he says that it made him and his dreams much stronger.
“My advice to anybody who wants to do whatever it is with their life is don’t ever let your dreams die because that’s what keeps an artist alive,” Billy Bob Thorton says in this video from Oprah Winfrey’s Master Class.
