Billy Bob Thornton reflected on why he is "happy" that he didn't find massive career success when he was in his 20s. He was 41 when he skyrocketed to fame with the success of his movie "Sling Blade."
"I'm happy that I became well known or successful – whatever you want to call it – in my 30s," Thornton said.
