More quotes by Val Kilmer
It's the persona that makes you a leading actor. A leading actor has something extra that's fun to watch. But it isn't usually about acting.
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.
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 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 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.
Val Kilmer
My only business plan was to get lucky.
Val Kilmer
Why do women get paid less money? It doesn't make any sense.

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 learned a long time ago that place matters to me, on many levels, and maybe more than it should, but it is generally counter-productive for me to resist it.
Val Kilmer
Warner Bros offered me the next Batman, and the only reason that I didn't do it was because of The Saint.
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
There was such a relationship between the buffalo and the American Indian - the Indians would eat them, live inside their pelts, use every part of the body. There was almost no separation between the people and the animals.
Val Kilmer
Mark Twain is as big as America. He really is.
Val Kilmer
Everything in high school was reversed. If marijuana was supposed to make you mellow, I would be like, The cops, the cops, the cops... I was what you call the buzz kill.
Val Kilmer
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
Jim Thompson understood something about the serial killer before the psychology caught up to it, which is that they are detached to it and they do want to get caught.
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
A hundred million dollars in the art world is a substantial amount of cash to do anything.
Val Kilmer
Performing in a live theater is absolutely unbeatable. It is something I have done my entire life and have a gift, it seems, for sharing thoughts live.
Val Kilmer
I have never taken my career seriously. My only ambition was to grow as an actor.
