Have you ever thought about making
a sequel to "Sling Blade?"
Is that something that you've ever seriously considered?
I don't know.
I think sometimes things are better left alone, I think.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Uh-huh.
I mean, I'm not sure what it would be.
And I think the chance you take with stuff
like that is just too great.
I mean, it became iconic.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah.
So kind of why mess with it?
Like, if you did it again--
Oh, I'm not saying you should.
But I loved that movie.
And it's like, yeah, just a lot of time people will.
I guess they do-- they can actually ruin
it retroactively in a way--
Yeah.
--if you make a sequel that doesn't live up.
Well, I think about that sometimes because like,
I don't watch things I do because I
think somehow magically I'm going to change
history if I watch it.
I'll watch it again, and then people won't like it,
and I won't like it, you know?
So I just kind of leave everything.
I shut the lid on everything.
I think that's called some kind
of obsessive compulsive disorder, right?
I'm sure of that, yeah.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah, right.
[LAUGHTER]
Yes.
This show "Goliath" that's on Amazon, this is a great show.
And this is the second season of the show.
They all come out at once on Amazon, correct?
Yes.
Do you like that, that they all come out at once?
Yeah, kind of, because the way they do it it feels kind
of like you're making an eight-hour or 10-hour movie,
you know.
So I think it's good that people are able to watch
it straight through.
And I've caught myself doing it a couple of times.
You think you're going to watch one episode, and then--
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah, one of our producers--
--and then it's like 3 in the morning and all of a sudden,
you're on episode 7. I don't know.
One of our producers did that very thing with your show
last night.
He said he just started watching it, and then the next thing
he knew, the sun was coming up.
You play a lawyer who is an alcoholic.
And you shoot in Santa Monica, in Venice, here in LA.
Do the people now--
are you now known by the locals for--
I mean, I imagine you're out on the street quite frequently out
there. - Yes.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah.
And we shoot down at Chez Jay, the legendary bar or restaurant
down there.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Chez Jay-- yeah, right.
Which is a pretty great place.
How long has that place been around?
Oh it's-- 1959?
JIMMY KIMMEL: 1959.
And a lot of people have graced that place.
Steve McQueen-- you know, people like that
used to hang out there.
And you know, really in that area,
you see more tourists than you do locals.
I mean, locals go in Chez Jay.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Right.
But the people on the street-- like we're filming out
in the parking lot or whatever, and I
always see people from Nebraska and New Jersey, everywhere.
And it's always fun because I'm kind of codependent
and feel like, you know, these are the people
that put shoes on my kids.
So I feel like I--
you owe your fans.
Not literally-- you're not letting your fans
touch your children, right? I mean--
No.
I actually let them put the shoes on them.
- You do? - Yes.
Oh.
Well, that is really codependent.
[LAUGHTER]
But it's-- you know, I just think
when they want to take pictures-- and the ADs,
I drive them crazy.
So you're in the middle of a shoot, and somebody strolls in.
Yeah. I just go over and--
You'll stop and take the picture?
I do, yeah.
But like I said, it's mostly tourists there.
But the harder thing is when we're shooting down
on the boardwalk in Venice because there are
a lot of characters on the Venice Boardwalk
that have been there forever.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Oh yeah.
And they know me.
And so--
You might be one of them.
[LAUGHTER]
You know, I definitely have been one of them.
Oh yeah?
At certain points, yes.
But you know, we've had a couple of scenes
where I was-- there was one scene in particular
where I was on the phone.
I'm supposed to be talking to one of my pals on the phone.
And I've got the thing up to my ear here.
And I'm walking down the Venice Boardwalk,
and the whole crew is there.
They're shooting the scene.
There's a lot of dialogue on the phone.
And this guy rides up on a bicycle
that I've been seeing out there for 25 years.
And hey, man, how's it going?
I'm like, yeah, I'm kind of you know, in a scene and you know.
And I just couldn't help it.
I stopped, talked to him, asked how he'd been and everything.
In the meantime, the ADs are running down there
screaming at everybody.
But I can't help it.
It's just, you know, when people--
when people are enthusiastic, I like to encourage them,
you know? - That's good.
That's nice.
[APPLAUSE]
Billy Bob Thornton, he encourages enthusiasm.
