More quotes by Val Kilmer
I'm very wary of news on television.
Val Kilmer
Postman is a media analyst and his theory is that television doesn't influence our culture, but that it is our culture and the presidency and anything that relies on television.
Val Kilmer
Once is more than generous for any lifetime.
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
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.
Val Kilmer
I can safely say that no one who has ever won an Oscar didn't want to win an Oscar.
Val Kilmer
If you play Mark Twain and he's not funny, you are definitely not playing Mark Twain. That was the biggest challenge, in some ways. Writing and performing jokes that can come out of that brilliant delivery system he constructed: the friendly, avuncular truth-teller.
Val Kilmer
I saw the horizon. It's out there. And though I may not ever be able to touch it, it's worth reaching for.
Val Kilmer
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.
Val Kilmer
I have two children and they're young yet but all of the children that I know really inspire me.
Val Kilmer
Gregory Peck was so charismatic. I saw a woman fall down - fall down! - when she saw him in a restaurant. And Brando. We were in London, and by then he was about 380 pounds. There was a gorgeous waitress, and off he went, in direct competition with me for this young girl's attention, speaking French, making her blush.
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
One out of 100 citizens of the U.S. is going to prison, and it's not that the system is making criminals, it's that it's making criminals better criminals. We're breeding them like rats and it has to change.
Val Kilmer
My father was raised in the mountains of New Mexico, and he picked cotton for a dollar a day. He was working for the family from the time he was 7.
Val Kilmer
Do what you like to do so well that someone will pay you wages for it.
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
Why do women get paid less money? It doesn't make any sense.
Val Kilmer
It hurts. I miss my kids. I miss my kids in so many ways that I can`t explain.
Val Kilmer
I just don't think I've ever been comfortable at public functions and selling myself as an entity.
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.
