\u201cYellowstone\u201d co-creator Taylor Sheridan built an entertainment empire, but according to Billy Bob Thornton, Hollywood had very little to do with his success.<\/p>

Sheridan saw success in his role on \u201cSons of Anarchy,\u201d but just as it seemed his career was on an upward trajectory, he realized it wasn\u2019t. In an interview with Town & Country, Sheridan reflected on the fragility of his Hollywood career and the realization that despite his success, his income wasn\u2019t secure.<\/p>

\u201cI was homeless twice,\u201d Sheridan said.<\/p>

\u201cHolly\u00adwood wasn\u2019t nice to Taylor,\u201d Thornton told the publication. <\/p>

Thornton went on to say that Hollywood\u2019s treatment of Sheridan ultimately pushed him to move beyond the industry\u2019s confines.<\/p>

\u201cThere\u2019s something about being an outsider that drives you,\u201d Thornton said.<\/p>

Sheridan admitted that he faced some very challenging times before he turned a new page.<\/p>

He left Hollywood in favor of a more authentic rural lifestyle.<\/p>

\u201cI lived in my car. Sometimes I\u2019d go to Ojai, just somewhere where I could safely sleep. I did that for six months,\u201d Sheridan told Town & Country.<\/p>

Sheridan took ownership of his decision to remain in the entertainment industry, but found a way to do it on his own terms.<\/p>

\u201cI could have decided at any point, \u2018I\u2019m going to go get a full-time job and I\u2019m going to give up this dream,\u2019 \u201d Sheridan said. <\/p>

\u201cAnd I chose to sleep in my car over that.\u201d<\/p>

Sheridan transitioned from acting to directing and producing while pursuing his passion for ranch life.<\/p>

He told the outlet that things changed for him after he created the script for \u201cHell or High Water.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhen I sold that first screenplay, I bought a little house on an acre on a river in Wyoming,\u201d Sheridan said.<\/p>

\n\n

\u201cWe moved there, and I wrote a check for it. Then, as I would start to have more success, I would buy a little bit more land beside it and get a couple horses.\u201d<\/p>

Sheridan now owns an impressive real estate portfolio in Texas.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m still so averse to having to ever owe anybody anything,\u201d he told Town & Country.<\/p>

Thornton asserted that Sheridan\u2019s success was a true measure of his authenticity.<\/p>

\u201cI think the ranch community in Texas accepted Taylor 100 percent because he\u2019s not phoning it in,\u201d he said.<\/p>

\u201cHe doesn\u2019t go to the tourist cowboy shop and get an outfit. This is the real thing.\u201d (RELATED: \u2018Yellowstone\u2019 Creator Taylor Sheridan Invests In Renowned Texas Restaurant) <\/strong><\/p>

Sheridan rarely leaves his ranch and spends most of his days caring for horses and doing the physical labor that ranch life demands.<\/p>

His career in Hollywood reflects his lifestyle, as seen in hits such as \u201cYellowstone,\u201d \u201cMayor of Kingstown,\u201d and \u201cThe Madison.\u201d<\/p>
