More quotes by Val Kilmer
Peter Sellers was just a brilliant actor, and also comedic.
Val Kilmer
I fell in love with the land and with the very old fashioned idea of leaving a physical legacy for my children. A stunning place, with a magnificent forest of trees, and a magnificent river.
Val Kilmer
A wonderful but kind of a terrible truth about acting is that you actually get to a point where you become content with an impossible task: it is really impossible to properly prepare. You kind of have to start over every time.
Val Kilmer
Interesting characters are troubled characters. The only problem I've had in my business is very few people - unfortunately, very vocal - confusing the difficult role that I play with me. I play these guys, but I'm not like them. I've been accused of being difficult to work with.
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
I sang the songs in 'The Doors'.
Val Kilmer
I'm a character actor, but I look like a leading man.
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'm very wary of news on television.
Val Kilmer
I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates when he said...I drank what?
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
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
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 live on a ranch that's larger than Manhattan. That's a weird circumstance.
Val Kilmer
I don't make any pretense about being normal. I'm not.
Val Kilmer
There are some directors I should have worked with. I`d like to have worked with Robert Altman - I turned him down a couple of times when I was younger. My thing now is if it`s a good director I`ll never say no - I`m just gonna say yes from now on.
Val Kilmer
Do what you like to do so well that someone will pay you wages for it.
Val Kilmer
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.
Val Kilmer
Being creative and making money in the theater is very challenging.
Val Kilmer
Most films made about the future acquiesce toward death, and I don't want to be told how to define my future.
