More quotes by Val Kilmer
It's the persona that makes you a leading actor. A leading actor has something extra that's fun to watch. But it isn't usually about acting.
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.
Val Kilmer
There was no one around called 'Val' when I was young, so I wanted to be John or Bill. Now I like it.
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
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.

Daryl Hannah likes to goof around with fashion, but she does have pretty impeccable taste.
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.

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.
Val Kilmer
News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.
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
Everything in high school was reversed. If marijuana was supposed to make you mellow, I would be like, The cops, the cops, the cops... I was what you call the buzz kill.
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
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
Hollywood's like a warehouse. It's just a place that you go. What's interesting in the warehouse has to do with the creative people.
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
I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates when he said...I drank what?
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've found that Hollywood's a really honest business. They don't pull any punches. They tell you exactly what you want-I want the fake breasts and the flat car and the big pool. You know, they're real up-front about it.
Val Kilmer
The only time it`s ever like work is when you don`t like what you`ve done. I`m very lucky in that I haven`t cultivated fame. Which, from what I`ve seen of my contemporaries, takes an enormous amount of time. I have a lot of respect for people that do it and they`re successful at it ... Especially people that aren`t such talented actors.
Val Kilmer
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.
