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.

More quotes by Val Kilmer
I think death is just a transition to another state of consciousness.
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
I've found that Hollywood's a really honest business. They don't pull any punches. They tell you exactly what you want-I want the fake breasts and the flat car and the big pool. You know, they're real up-front about it.
Val Kilmer
Mark Twain is a voice of truth and a voice of equality and a voice of tolerance. Which means he is a voice of love.
Val Kilmer
You never quiet the love message. Never.
Val Kilmer
Life is precious, and when someone dies it's an opportunity to realise how precious it is. My brother drowned when I was 17. He was 15. I think I grew from that. My father didn't. It really crushed him.
Val Kilmer
I can safely say that no one who has ever won an Oscar didn't want to win an Oscar.
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
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
Without deadlines and restrictions I just tend to become preoccupied with other things.
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
In order to be an artist and an actor, like tackling the classics in the theater as well as film, there's lots of discipline, lots of work, physical work put in.
Val Kilmer
Unless a Western's made money - doesn't matter who made the money, doesn't matter what the subject is - if the last one didn't make any money, you can't make another one for a four-year period. Westerns more than any genre.
Val Kilmer
I'm a character actor, but I look like a leading man.
Val Kilmer
Again, in Wag the Dog, war has to be declared by an act of congress. But if you go to war, you don't have to declare war. You're just at war and we did that, which is not legal.
Val Kilmer
Gregory Peck was so charismatic. I saw a woman fall down - fall down! - when she saw him in a restaurant. And Brando. We were in London, and by then he was about 380 pounds. There was a gorgeous waitress, and off he went, in direct competition with me for this young girl's attention, speaking French, making her blush.
Val Kilmer
It's the first time that I've ever had an art show based on a film, but it's a photography collage.
Val Kilmer
There are only three reasons to do a movie: the cast, the director, the role. Like I say, you live in a minute of screen time, but to prepare for the minute takes much more than a day. You'd better be excited about what those moments are, even if they're the hardest moments. Or the smallest.
Val Kilmer
I'm fairly sure I didn't show enough gratitude to my employers, and I'm sorry for that.
Val Kilmer
I have two children and they're young yet but all of the children that I know really inspire me.
Val Kilmer
