 “I loved little league. All memories are pretty fun. The first time I pitched. I started out as a first base men. The first game I pitched in little league I struck out ten batters. I had a curve ball a little early, you’re not really suppose to have one when you’re twelve, but I did. So my first game I struck out ten batters. That was probably my fondest memory.” Thorton is proud of the films message, which is the main reason he did the film. “Pretty decent message. Kids might need to hear that now. All this obsession with winning and being the best at everything. Or being a loser and misfit. Just got out there and try and find your own group of people.” While he is disappointed with the parents who can get out of hand at their children’s game, he does wish their was more of a balance. “Strike a balance. Got to be good to kids. I don’t believe things should be handed to them. Suppose to strive to be better. In the best world, athletics are suppose to be something that’s an analogy for the rest of your life. You’re suppose to learn from it.” Thorton himself is not a strict father. His kids call his house “the rock n’ roll house.” Their mother is the disciplinary. His kids have seen his previous films Armageddon, Friday Night Lights, Bandits, and his Academy Award winning Sling Blade. ”When they were on the set of Bad Santa I tried to keep the headphones away from them.” He also promises they will never see Monster’s Ball. ”Not even when they are sixty. I’m gonna leave it in my will.” Despite it’s PG-13 rating the film does have a some rough language. Thorton still believes it is for a wider audience. “In terms of movies I’ve made it’s really right for a broader audience. I think it’s pretty much an all ages film. So maybe young kids - five or six- a little subtle for them. This is something that’s always puzzled me. I’m not sure why it’s okay for kids to go to movies where people get their heads cut off, but they can’t hear somebody say damn it or whatever it is. You know, I think it’s a little backwards. I’d rather my kids curse then like hack people to pieces with a machete.” His next album titled Hobo will be out in September. He also has a handful films waiting to be released that will see him opposite John Cusak and Susan Sarandon, among others. And by next spring, he will return to directing. He will not reveal the project just yet, but it is based on a novel and he will not be writing it. With his ex-wife Angelina Jolie recently adopting a baby girl, he showed nothing but happiness for her. But, only had so much patience with the press on ... |
