More quotes by Val Kilmer
I never cultivated a personality. Almost everyone who is really famous has cultivated a personality.
Val Kilmer
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.
Val Kilmer
New Mexico is my home. It has never been anything but home. The ranch has rivers and canyon, everything imaginable. I can ride, hunt and fish. At the same time, ranching is grueling, difficult work. It`s like acting, to be successful at it, you have to work hard. I take it very seriously.
Val Kilmer
I'm fairly sure I didn't show enough gratitude to my employers, and I'm sorry for that.
Val Kilmer
If you think that by threatening me you can get me to do what you want... well, that's where you're right. But - and I am only saying this because I care - there's a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing.
Val Kilmer
It is a weird thing that actors have people applaud when they're done working. I still find that entertaining.
Val Kilmer
Peter Sellers was just a brilliant actor, and also comedic.
Val Kilmer
I have two children and they're young yet but all of the children that I know really inspire me.
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
It may or may not sound pretentious. But I`ve turned down, consciously and specifically, many jobs I knew would have been a pretty surefire way to go about making a lot of money, being recognized and gaining power in the industry.
Val Kilmer
My perception is that I've never done anything but work really hard.
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 love acting, and doing it well matters to me.
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
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
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
Mark Twain is as big as America. He really is.
Val Kilmer
It's important to be yourself. What art does for everyone, helps you understand yourself and in a distilled way, whether it's a painting or a scene in acting or a joke. It distills something about everyday life that can be important to you.
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.
