More quotes by Val Kilmer
News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.
Val Kilmer
I've found that Hollywood's a really honest business. They don't pull any punches. They tell you exactly what you want-I want the fake breasts and the flat car and the big pool. You know, they're real up-front about it.
Val Kilmer
New Mexico is my home. It has never been anything but home. The ranch has rivers and canyon, everything imaginable. I can ride, hunt and fish. At the same time, ranching is grueling, difficult work. It`s like acting, to be successful at it, you have to work hard. I take it very seriously.
Val Kilmer
Give me the compliments. I love compliments. I was born modest, but it wore off.
Val Kilmer
There are lots of actors who are awful people, but nobody talks about them being awful because they've made billions.
Val Kilmer
I probably complained more when I was younger. The movie industry can be frustrating but I think sometimes I could have been more helpful, approaching a film as a partnership rather than being critical of a director's ignorance. I wasn't sensitive to the fact that it's very hard to direct.
Val Kilmer
I'm not just an actor born in L.A. I was born in the Griffith Park Hospital. You can't get any more clichéd than that.
Val Kilmer
I'm very wary of news on television.
Val Kilmer
My only challenge is to entertain. And I accomplish my task better when I myself am entertained by what I am doing. I am very critical of myself, I constantly set the bar higher and higher. I try to surpass myself. That`s all. But I also know how to preserve myself, to not let myself get bedazzled by the smoke and mirrors.
Val Kilmer
Well I sure had been looking for a comedy for years without any success.
Val Kilmer
I went to public school in L.A., so I felt like I'd been in a coma for three years. I woke up, and moved to New York.
Val Kilmer
Mark Twain is a universe, and he is also a kind of American authority figure. He can say things to America that other people can't say, in a way that can truly be heard.
Val Kilmer
It's a really weird thing, modern divorce. I found out I was getting divorced on television. That was kind of weird.
Val Kilmer
I'm a character actor, but I look like a leading man.
Val Kilmer
I liked being Doc Holliday. It's fun to be insightful and aristocratic, to stand up for your friend and make sacrifices for him. It was fun to be arrogant like he was and have the goods to back it up. He was a very noble character. Although, let's not forget, he did kill a lot of people.
Val Kilmer
I have two children and they're young yet but all of the children that I know really inspire me.
Val Kilmer
I love that Bob Dylan asked me to be in the first movie he wrote.
Val Kilmer
Acting is very immediate.
Val Kilmer
Art is a way to get strength from something that is life-affirming. It can be quite violent and still be life-affirming.
Val Kilmer
It may or may not sound pretentious. But I`ve turned down, consciously and specifically, many jobs I knew would have been a pretty surefire way to go about making a lot of money, being recognized and gaining power in the industry.
