More quotes by Val Kilmer

Image
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.

I'm very wary of news on television.
Val Kilmer
Image
Most films made about the future acquiesce toward death, and I don't want to be told how to define my future.

Image
There are lots of actors who are awful people, but nobody talks about them being awful because they've made billions.

Image
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.

If you look up the definition of news in the dictionary, it isn't what you watch on TV.

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes, I wonder what I'm doing back in Los Angeles, but when you look out there... How can you complain when you see a whale cresting, matter-of-factly, as you make your breakfast?

Image
Mark Twain is a universe, and he is also a kind of American authority figure. He can say things to America that other people can't say, in a way that can truly be heard.

Image
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.

I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates when he said...I drank what?

There was no one around called 'Val' when I was young, so I wanted to be John or Bill. Now I like it.
