My perception is that I've never done anything but work really hard.
Val Kilmer
Image
Hollywood's like a warehouse. It's just a place that you go. What's interesting in the warehouse has to do with the creative people.

Image
The only time it`s ever like work is when you don`t like what you`ve done. I`m very lucky in that I haven`t cultivated fame. Which, from what I`ve seen of my contemporaries, takes an enormous amount of time. I have a lot of respect for people that do it and they`re successful at it ... Especially people that aren`t such talented actors.

There is no normal life, there's just life. You live it.

YouTube is a new experience for me-someone threw a laptop in front of me and showed me Nic Cage going mad, which has got to be the funniest thing on YouTube. He's so courageous.

Do what you like to do so well that someone will pay you wages for it.

My only business plan was to get lucky.

Image
There are only three reasons to do a movie: the cast, the director, the role. Like I say, you live in a minute of screen time, but to prepare for the minute takes much more than a day. You'd better be excited about what those moments are, even if they're the hardest moments. Or the smallest.

I love acting, and doing it well matters to me.

Mark Twain had a way of telling stories that shifts your consciousness away from labels.

Hollywood is wonderful, but it does eat its young.

Mark Twain was an artist working at the highest level. He wrote a book, his masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, that put America on the world stage for literature. It's almost as if, if you start reading that book as a racist, you cannot finish it and still be a racist.
