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.

More quotes by Val Kilmer
The first play I saw was a Samuel Beckett play which was great.
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 thinking of the immortal words of Socrates when he said...I drank what?
Val Kilmer
I'm a character actor, but I look like a leading man.

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.

My only business plan was to get lucky.

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.

I live on a ranch that's larger than Manhattan. That's a weird circumstance.
Val Kilmer

Daryl Hannah likes to goof around with fashion, but she does have pretty impeccable taste.
Val Kilmer
It is a weird thing that actors have people applaud when they're done working. I still find that entertaining.
Val Kilmer
If you look up the definition of news in the dictionary, it isn't what you watch on TV.
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
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
It's a really weird thing, modern divorce. I found out I was getting divorced on television. That was kind of weird.
