More quotes by Val Kilmer
Do what you like to do so well that someone will pay you wages for it.
Val Kilmer
I love acting, and doing it well matters to me.
Val Kilmer
It hurts. I miss my kids. I miss my kids in so many ways that I can`t explain.
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
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
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.
Val Kilmer
There is no normal life, there's just life. You live it.
Val Kilmer
I liked being Doc Holliday. It's fun to be insightful and aristocratic, to stand up for your friend and make sacrifices for him. It was fun to be arrogant like he was and have the goods to back it up. He was a very noble character. Although, let's not forget, he did kill a lot of people.
Val Kilmer
Once is more than generous for any lifetime.
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.
Val Kilmer
It seems to me that every step forward in my life has been one that brings me to a better understanding of this: that you do your thing every day the best that you can, and you approach any success at it with humility.
Val Kilmer
Acting is not a science. Anybody who believes that their success exists in relation to their goals is deluding themselves unless you think of a career in terms of financial goals. I have nothing against Tom Cruise, but he must have a large capacity to deal with the business side of movies.
Val Kilmer
One out of 100 citizens of the U.S. is going to prison, and it's not that the system is making criminals, it's that it's making criminals better criminals. We're breeding them like rats and it has to change.
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
Without deadlines and restrictions I just tend to become preoccupied with other things.
Val Kilmer
My perception is that I've never done anything but work really hard.
Val Kilmer
I'm a better person when I'm preparing for a role, when I'm studying a role.
Val Kilmer
I have never taken my career seriously. My only ambition was to grow as an actor.
