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.

More quotes by 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
Interesting characters are troubled characters. The only problem I've had in my business is very few people - unfortunately, very vocal - confusing the difficult role that I play with me. I play these guys, but I'm not like them. I've been accused of being difficult to work with.
Val Kilmer
Warner Bros offered me the next Batman, and the only reason that I didn't do it was because of The Saint.
Val Kilmer
Give me the compliments. I love compliments. I was born modest, but it wore off.
Val Kilmer
I don't make any pretense about being normal. I'm not.
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
So it`s always helped me to have a foundation, an ideal to strive for and goals. It`s hard for me to be disciplined and plan things.
Val Kilmer
I have two children and they're young yet but all of the children that I know really inspire me.
Val Kilmer
The trick to being a good actor is getting so involved in your character that the camera disappears, the 50 bored guys eating doughnuts disappear, friends disappear. To get to that point when you don't have to think about it, you're just acting and reacting in those circumstances.
Val Kilmer
If you know where your spiritual center is, and you neglect it, peace will always allude you.
Val Kilmer
I don't believe in death. I think it's just a state of mind.
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.
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
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 the first time that I've ever had an art show based on a film, but it's a photography collage.
Val Kilmer
If you look up the definition of news in the dictionary, it isn't what you watch on TV.
Val Kilmer
Once is more than generous for any lifetime.
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
I live on a ranch that's larger than Manhattan. That's a weird circumstance.
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.
