More quotes by Val Kilmer

Val Kilmer
The audience and I have an intimacy that is, I believe, rare, most times out.
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
Acting is very immediate.
Val Kilmer
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
Do what you like to do so well that someone will pay you wages for it.
Val Kilmer
I have never taken my career seriously. My only ambition was to grow as an actor.
Val Kilmer
I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates when he said...I drank what?
Val Kilmer
I think part of my reputation has to do with the difficult roles I've played. Actors do tend to get identified with their characters.
Val Kilmer
I think death is just a transition to another state of consciousness.
Val Kilmer
The Secret Service is a strange group. They don't really have a leader. It's not set up like a military. Each one is supposed to be able to act like a leader when something comes up.
