11 Questions With Billy Bob Thornton: No. 11

"Whenever anyone says I'm an actor making a record, I tell them to kiss my ass," says Billy Bob Thornton, who may be better known for his movies but insists that music is his first love. The Boot was invited inside Thornton's Beverly Hills home to talk about his country-rock band, The Boxmasters.

One that was bizarre was that I only eat orange food. It was in the papers for two or three years!
