More quotes by Val Kilmer
Art is a way to get strength from something that is life-affirming. It can be quite violent and still be life-affirming.
Val Kilmer
Being creative and making money in the theater is very challenging.
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.

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
That's the joy of art - it should be dangerous and challenging but it's just art - it's safe.
Val Kilmer
Hollywood is wonderful, but it does eat its young.
Val Kilmer
I think death is just a transition to another state of consciousness.
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
I don't make any pretense about being normal. I'm not.
Val Kilmer
News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.
Val Kilmer
I'm a better person when I'm preparing for a role, when I'm studying a role.
Val Kilmer
I'm fairly sure I didn't show enough gratitude to my employers, and I'm sorry for that.
Val Kilmer
It hurts. I miss my kids. I miss my kids in so many ways that I can`t explain.
Val Kilmer
Do what you like to do so well that someone will pay you wages for it.
Val Kilmer
I can safely say that no one who has ever won an Oscar didn't want to win an Oscar.
Val Kilmer
You just don't understand humility until you have children and get divorced.
