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.

I'm going to put a museum on my ranch and people keep saying, That's a huge idea. Yeah, it's big, but not bigger than the average big movie. A hundred million dollars in the art world is a substantial amount of cash to do anything. That's maybe a big gallery's total sales for a given year.

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.
Val Kilmer
I never had a business plan. I did, actually - I'm lying. My business plan was to get lucky, and I did that was great. And then my second business plan was to get lucky again, and there, I faltered.

It sounds corny to say, but the theater is sacred something transcendent can occur, and when it does, everyone grows. It's a true communion.
Val Kilmer
The audience and I have an intimacy that is, I believe, rare, most times out.

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.

The first play I saw was a Samuel Beckett play which was great.
Val Kilmer
Life is precious, and when someone dies it's an opportunity to realise how precious it is. My brother drowned when I was 17. He was 15. I think I grew from that. My father didn't. It really crushed him.

I sang the songs in 'The Doors'.
