Mark Twain created a new type of literature and not a lot of people can say that. Not a lot of people can say they're absolutely original and completely self-made.

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.

Acting is very immediate.

I was looking for projects, as you always are, and I read this scene . . . and I'm in the Hollywood Hills. So I thought, 'This is interesting.' You have this setup that seems to be based in some reality and you can only wonder where Black's going to go with this.

Acting is not a science. Anybody who believes that their success exists in relation to their goals is deluding themselves unless you think of a career in terms of financial goals. I have nothing against Tom Cruise, but he must have a large capacity to deal with the business side of movies.

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.

It is a weird thing that actors have people applaud when they're done working. I still find that entertaining.

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.

My perception is that I've never done anything but work really hard.

There's nothing good about divorce.
Val Kilmer
Image
It hurts. I miss my kids. I miss my kids in so many ways that I can`t explain.
Val Kilmer
Image
It's a really weird thing, modern divorce. I found out I was getting divorced on television. That was kind of weird.

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.

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.

My only business plan was to get lucky.

I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates when he said...I drank what?

A hundred million dollars in the art world is a substantial amount of cash to do anything.

You just don't understand humility until you have children and get divorced. I was very hurt and very angry and so was she. But when kids are involved, you either become friends with respect or you become mortal enemies.

Daryl Hannah likes to goof around with fashion, but she does have pretty impeccable taste.
