Big movies are fun and it`s great to fly on private jets and make a lot of money and all the things that are connected with Hollywood, but they take a lot of your own life.

More quotes by Val Kilmer
New Mexico is my home. It has never been anything but home. The ranch has rivers and canyon, everything imaginable. I can ride, hunt and fish. At the same time, ranching is grueling, difficult work. It`s like acting, to be successful at it, you have to work hard. I take it very seriously.

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.
Val Kilmer
It may or may not sound pretentious. But I`ve turned down, consciously and specifically, many jobs I knew would have been a pretty surefire way to go about making a lot of money, being recognized and gaining power in the industry.
Val Kilmer
My father was raised in the mountains of New Mexico, and he picked cotton for a dollar a day. He was working for the family from the time he was 7.

News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.

I was in love with Tina Goodman since I was three and her parents came popping out of the trash cans. I think it made a big impression on me.
Val Kilmer
My only challenge is to entertain. And I accomplish my task better when I myself am entertained by what I am doing. I am very critical of myself, I constantly set the bar higher and higher. I try to surpass myself. That`s all. But I also know how to preserve myself, to not let myself get bedazzled by the smoke and mirrors.

I love that Bob Dylan asked me to be in the first movie he wrote.
Val Kilmer
Without deadlines and restrictions I just tend to become preoccupied with other things.
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
I'm not just an actor born in L.A. I was born in the Griffith Park Hospital. You can't get any more clichéd than that.
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
Well I sure had been looking for a comedy for years without any success.
Val Kilmer
Mark Twain is as big as America. He really is.
Val Kilmer
A hundred million dollars in the art world is a substantial amount of cash to do anything.

Daryl Hannah likes to goof around with fashion, but she does have pretty impeccable taste.
Val Kilmer
It is a weird thing that actors have people applaud when they're done working. I still find that entertaining.
Val Kilmer
You just don't understand humility until you have children and get divorced. I was very hurt and very angry and so was she. But when kids are involved, you either become friends with respect or you become mortal enemies.
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
I'm going to put a museum on my ranch and people keep saying, That's a huge idea. Yeah, it's big, but not bigger than the average big movie. A hundred million dollars in the art world is a substantial amount of cash to do anything. That's maybe a big gallery's total sales for a given year.
