More quotes by Val Kilmer
I saw the horizon. It's out there. And though I may not ever be able to touch it, it's worth reaching for.
Val Kilmer
Well I sure had been looking for a comedy for years without any success.
Val Kilmer
I fell in love with the land and with the very old fashioned idea of leaving a physical legacy for my children. A stunning place, with a magnificent forest of trees, and a magnificent river.
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
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
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
I love acting, and doing it well matters to me.
Val Kilmer
I was looking for projects, as you always are, and I read this scene . . . and I'm in the Hollywood Hills. So I thought, 'This is interesting.' You have this setup that seems to be based in some reality and you can only wonder where Black's going to go with this.
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
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
There are lots of actors who are awful people, but nobody talks about them being awful because they've made billions.
Val Kilmer
I respect people who can do both careers, like Will Smith and a couple of other people who have done it, but I just don't know when they sleep.
Val Kilmer
Postman is a media analyst and his theory is that television doesn't influence our culture, but that it is our culture and the presidency and anything that relies on television.
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
Why do women get paid less money? It doesn't make any sense.
Val Kilmer
Most films made about the future acquiesce toward death, and I don't want to be told how to define my future.
Val Kilmer
There's nothing good about divorce.
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 have never taken my career seriously. My only ambition was to grow as an actor.
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.
