Speaking to USA Today, he said: ''I don't get out much. The next time I'll be out will be at the Emmys. I'm kind of a hermit. I only have about seven friends.'' Billy Bob admitted he also doesn't use any social networking sites. He says he doesn't use Facebook and Twitter because he's not an ''idiot.'' He said previously: ''Twitter and Facebook, and all these things, are making people into blithering idiots. I don't use any of that mess. In the '60s we would say "power to the people" but that's not what we meant.''

    He’s such a turd. I’ll never forget that interview he did with Jian Gomeshi in which he showed his true persona. He was an outright jerk. I’m not surprised he has few friends. Actually, I’m surprised he has any friends.
